Why can't these kids stand during the pledge and just not recite it if they don't want to?
Is it so meaningful to them not to stand in the school people died to provide them that it's worth the slap in the face to the living that have layed it on the line so they can sit on their wannabe 'what I want to do overrides anything else mentality' @sses and think they're relevent in any way???
People died so that we don't have to pledge allegiance to a state, and don't have to stand while that is done. That's called individual liberty.
They don't have to say a F'ing word. Not one. They do however have to stand. I know, it's very hard to stand, especially at such a young and feeble age... :roll:
If I was in Iran/China/N.Korea and they stood and receited whatever national pledge/song/whatever, even then I wouldn't have the complete lack of tact to not stand out of respect for being a guest in their midst.
Students and Parents need to start getting a F'ing clue that they don't own the schools, teachers, or adminstrations...and as such, don't set the rules: They are guests and should be acting accordingly.
The parents (taxpayers) are not the guests, they are the owners of the schools. Schools and teachers should act accordingly, and in full compliance with the law of the land.
No, they are
not owners of the schools, nor do they set the rules or the laws. The school Administrators set the rules operating under the the laws of the land. If the laws of the land say the school Administration has the power to require students to stand during the pledge, but they don't have to repeat it, then
that's the F'ing rule! If you as a parent don't like it,
to F'ing bad!!!. If it means that much that your lazy disrespectful kid has to stand, let alone mumble something, then yank him/her out and either home school them or put them in a private school were you might have more of a say so. Until then, STFU because
you, nor your precious kid, are in charge.
These kids shouldn't have been given a one day suspension however...that was wrong. They should have been given a 1 month work/study and been assigned to the VA hospital. Maybe they'd appreciate the vets a little more than F it, I'll sit on my @ss because I'm more important than anything else around me.
Un F'ing Believable.

Un F'ing Believable indeed.
I am sure these veterans would be delighted to learn that they sacrificed so that the government can force students to stand in acknowledgment of allegiance to the state and a deity that they may not even believe in.
I'm sure they'd all be scratching their heads wondering why the students who they sacrificed so much for have so little respect so as to not even rise from their seat during the pledge. F pledging allegiance...these kids don't even have the common decency for a 'tip of the hat' effort.
