Since I just mentioned the Pledge of Allegiance in my last post, I thought this is fitting to come after. Here is an article from The Nanny State Liberation Front.

Here is the article:
The principal of a public school in Rep. Barney Frank’s (D-Mass.) ultra-liberal district is “bringing back the Pledge of Allegiance” next month, but only those students whose parents sign their permission slips are allowed to honor America.On Monday, Devotion Principal Gerardo J. Martinez sent a letter to parents telling them that the school in Brookline he would begin leading weekly recitations next month of the ‘controversial’ Pledge of Allegiance, reports WickedLocal.com.
“I urge you to have a conversation as a family to help your children understand why I will be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and to support them in feeling comfortable and confident in the decision on whether or not to participate,” Martinez said in the letter.
Parent Judi Puritz Cook said pledging allegiance to America and its flag is “uncomfortable” for herself and her two sons who have been taught to “think very carefully before making any promise.”
When Martinez begins to recite the Pledge of Allegiance next month, Cook said the school will no longer be “inclusive of everyone.”
“We’re celebrating diversity and including people… and then to be the one sitting there, waiting for the pledge to finish, [that] doesn’t feel inclusive,” she said. “Yeah, it’s weird. That’s the right word for it.”
Agree or disagree with providing children with the option of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in the classroom? Sound-off below.

Strongly disagree. If you aren’t willing to honor your own country, then GO AWAY. I mean, if you’re going to live here, then you shouldn’t expect special treatment just because you don’t like making a promise to the country that gave you your freedom, or because you don’t believe in God. You can always leave.
I hear people griping about the U.S., and I’m always astounded. They don’t realize how good they have it here. Even though I don’t agree with what the government is doing these days, I still know that I’d much rather be living here than anywhere else in the world. This is our home, and we’ve been through hard times before. We can get through these days too. As long as we continue to have faith in the United States of America.
