Kneeling for the Pledge of Allegiance.

The more I see people talking about kneeling for the flag brings me to the upbringing in school that people have gone through.

When I was growing up, we would all stand before class, place our hands over our hearts and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. If you wanted to be a “bad kid” and disruptive and cause trouble, then you would stay seated or whatever and you would face repercussions.

I’m guessing this was taken out of schools long ago, but this has caused the mentality that society has today. No respect for the heritage, no respect for anything because respect isn’t taught by social media or the internet.

So these people that kneel for something like the National Anthem or Pledge of Allegiance are not doing it for a cause, they are doing it out of rebellion and spite. If they are told that doing something is respectful, then they oppose it because, “you can’t tell them what to do, they’re famous” psh, please.

Why not just kneel during the game, stop mid-play and all just kneel? Why not kneel the entire game that the player isn’t playing? Why not kneel any other time than the anthem?

Because that’s when they are told to stand, stand for their country, stand for the freedoms this nation has, stand for all that is right. If you don’t stand, you fall and this country is falling hard right now. We need leaders to step up and raise the future generations with some dignity and respect.
