And we also got forced to go to church by our parents and there were blue laws (against the 1st Amendment) and also segregation. The good ole' days, eh?Were you given that choice as a kid? I wasn't. Not by the school or my parents. If I refused to stand and recite the pledge, my dad would have rightly kicked my ass.I told my kids they had the right to abstain from the indoctrination of nationalism.The immigrant from Cuba learned his opinion from his family. Deport the lot of them back to Cuba.
These are not "decisions" children make.
Actually it was a mess up all around...but the adults are adults and more responsible than a 11 year old. I would have used it as a teachable moment.
It was. Now the other 11 year olds won’t do that stupid shit....... maybe.
