The Patriot Room ^ | November 19, 2008 | Bill Dupray

It seems that the Commies in Vermont don’t want to embarrass kids who don’t want to say the Pledge, so they make the ones who do, leave the room.

The Supreme Court decision required schools to allow students to “opt out” of reciting the Pledge.

It did NOT allow schools to require students to “opt in”.

What this school is doing is unconstitutional. Where is the ACLU when you need them, eh?

Nonsense. There is no prohibition against requiring opt-in for an activity.

Their problem is “to the Republic, for which it stands.”

The “one nation, under Obama” does not bother them.

How funny. Where will they go? Is there some big auditorium out there? Oh funny if all the kids but one leave the classroom, I think that would put the spotlight on that one kid. This is so ridiculous but it happens everywhere. I was on base at the base theater and some punk active duty guys (I am active duty as well so I know not everyone is perfect) did not stand up to respect the National Anthem. Everyone yelled for them to stand up...lol. It happens everywhere.

When my daughter was 3, we had to stop at every US flag while she saluted and recited the Pledge...

Her daughter, 5, loves the flag and loves visiting the “City of Flags”, (Washington’s Monument, etc in DC)

its a Vermont thing.

They should join Quebec, then when Quebec becomes part of France, the Vermonteers will be where they need to be. Then the can all sing La Marseillaise before class starts...

Ain’t that sumptin’? Years ago:

If you didn’t want to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the national anthem, you were disciplined and people thought you were strange.

You could go into a drug store and say, “Give me a pack of Marlboros,” and whisper softly, “Where’s your condoms?”

Nowadays, you shout “Give me a pack of condoms,” and whisper softly, “Where’s your cigarettes?”

Yep, and with our new fearless leader who won’t sing our anthem or wear a U.S. flag pin, we’re all in trouble.
