It's good manners to respect other people's civil rights.Exactly. Saying the Pledge as part of a group is only one small way of showing loyalty. There are many other ways to do the same. Being a good citizen, as in fulfilling your obligation to vote, do jury duty and pay taxes is a more pruductive way of being loyal to your country than saluting a flag.☭proletarian☭;2069039 said:If America is a great nation, why do we have to brainwash children to be loyal to it? Shouldn't we trust that educated, informed, and intelligent persons will stand for the nation if it is worth standing for?
Does the Right not think America's good enough for people to want to stand and fight for without being brainwashed?
No one is debating her right not to say the pledge, only her lack of manners in sitting during it.
