Come on man…its judicial hearings. Whats the big deal with taking 30 seconds to sa it again.
Why not have any formal meeting of Congress start with the Pedge?
I like it.
It is good to take a moment to remind themselves that they are there for the good of the country. It doesn't hurt for the Democrats to to pause their scheming and partisan bickering for a quick exercise in unity. What crying snowflakes they are.
I teach at a Texas public school, and we are required by law to recite the pledge, recite the Texas pledge (quoted below) and then have a moment of silence. It's a great way for the kids to start the day, especially the silence. I don't care if they pray, meditate or just take a break from the constant chatter the will hear the rest of the day.
We once had a teacher from England who would sit at his desk taking roll during the pledge. Some kids followed suit and the principal found out about and called him into the office. The teacher made his case that he was not intending to become a U.S. citizen and would be hypocritial pledging to another country.
The principal asked if he would like the opportunity to step out during the next pledge. When the teacher said yes, the principal told him he meant step out of the building and to to the admin building to turn in his teacher ID, because leading the students in the pledge is part of his job.
Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.
My wife is from Virginia and grew up in the military. On an Army base when the flag goes up or down, all outdoor activity stops nad people stand and salute or hands over heart. No exceptions. If you're driving, you pull over and get out, civilian or not.
The first time she visited our son's elementary school, she got there just as the pledge was starting. So, she stopped. Then they did the pledge in Spanish. Then the Texas pledge, English and Spanish. She was annoyed, but I said "that's how we roll."
