Meh, kids mouthing words half of which they don't understand is not my idea of how to instill patriotism. Kim Jong-Un probably does something similar.

Others, like myself, would argue that the pledge itself is indoctrination.

School officials say students will continue to be asked to stand to participate in the school’s Wolf Pack Chant each morning.

"The school said students will no longer say the pledge in the morning meeting where students gather in a large group. Students will still be allowed to say the pledge in class."

Never had a student body-wide morning meeting when I went to school. We said the pledge in class. If they're just shifting to the classroom than no one should really have a problem with it.

I'm so glad my time is shorter than the kids that will have to grow up during the next 50 years or so.

Forced patriotism does not increase patriotism.

bullshite. what "public gathering" recites the pledge of allegiance? Does your girlfriend live in Canada too?
I honestly can't remember the last time I heard the pledge of allegiance. Kids don't pay attention to the meaning of the words, they just recite it from memory.

Kids should not have to stand for the wolf pack chant if they choose it to be offensive.

It was decided decades ago:
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us" - Justice Robert Jackson writing in the West Virginia State BoE v. Barnette (1943) decision that students cannot be forced to salute the flag or say the pledge

Says the guy demanding that people pledge allegiance to the state
I just don't see how any freedom loving American would want someone to pledge allegiance to the state.
