We were taught that in school, do they not teach that anymore? No, they're not. The Pledge of Allegiance is no longer said every morning, so they don't know they're supposed to do that unless they're taught at home. Respect is a thing of the past. :/ We do the pledge to the American flag and the Oklahoma flag every morning led over the intercom by some part of our school administration. I don't know about middle school or high school, but this is in elementary. I thought it was required in Oklahoma to do both. Maybe not. In recent years we had to start including the Oklahoma pledge as well. Maybe only the elementary schools do it. Students are taught to put their right hand over their heart. If a student or parent requested the child not be required to do the pledges, then of course they could be exempt. We also have a moment of silence to which I believe is required in Oklahoma. Don't know if every school does it or not. The HS (actually preK-12 all one campus) I graduated from does the pledge and prayer over intercom each morning. They get away with the prayer because it is led by a volunteer student. If there isn't a student on a particular day, an adult leads the pledge and then has a moment of silence. I don't remember many days when there wasn't a prayer though. We are in Texas, my son is in the 4th grade. They do the pledge to both flags, and the principal has a moment of silence. It has been that way since I went to school there. In school programs etc. it isn't uncommon for him to mention God either in his speach before the program starts. My son came home a few weeks ago and said the entire 3rd and 4th grade got in trouble that day. I was going for what?! Then he told me some of the kids weren't being respectful during the pledge of allegiance and the principal and the teachers let all the other grades go to class but kept those 2 grades in the gym (They all gather in the gym before school starts). He made it clear to them that as long as he was principal they would respect the flag and told them why they should. My son said "I have never seen him that mad.... he was REALLY mad at us." I thought good for him. When they started taking God and respect out of the schools, what did they expect to happen to this country? Did they really believe it was a good idea?? If only more principals were like this. . .

Wonder how regional some of this teaching is?

A woman has the option to leave it on or remove it. Woman removes hat (maxresdefault.jpg) Attachments ---------------- maxresdefault.jpg (45KB - 182 downloads)
