Countless? You mean, like trillions and trillions?

Countless is over 20, you know. when you run out of fingers and toes.
You’re absolutely right.
When I was in school the policy was that parents who objected to their kids standing for the Pledge were allowed to put it in writing and those students were allowed to sit quietly at their desks or leave the classroom. The teachers and principals admonished us young skulls full of mush in no uncertain terms not to harass those kids because of it.
This is a Shreveport, LA high school football team
Green Oaks football team to protest during national anthem
The good part is that the teacher told him to stand up. You won’t get that out of many NEA thought control camps nowadays.
Not to mention, no doubt Pasco County’s finest will get to know this punk very well by the time he reaches adolescence.
Mother is a neat and articulate black.
I thought taking the knee had the purpose of showing disrespect?
I recall a few kids who were Jehovah's Witnesses doing that in elementary school. No fuss, no muss. But of course, they weren't seeking media attention.
Finally a story where I can agree with the teacher and the parent can go jump in a lake. Or the Rio Grande.
Completely unthinkable! In my school, he wouldn’t have hardly made it out the door for recess. He would get pummeled!
“Countless? You mean, like trillions and trillions?”
...maybe even a googolplex or a Skewes’ number.
Studies have shown that people are more likely to vote Republican when they see a flag or hear the anthem. That is a big part of the war on both. Democrats want to destroy loyalty to the country so they can create a new loyalty to the party only as part of a move to tyranny.
Mama is black, so son is at least half black.
Well? Give us a count don’t make a guess
My parents are JWs.
The SOP was to remain seated quietly during the Anthem and Pledge.
That eventually changed to standing just not reciting the Pledge.
Reasoning was,standing showed RESPECT in spite of religious objection.
That was a loong time ago, I’m not sure if that has since changed
Not sure if that has changed, either. My parents are dyed in the wool J W s also—in their mid eighties and shunning me for leaving the cult in my early 40s. As a kid, we would be excused from the pledge, anthem, birthday, Easter, Xmas and Halloween parties. Spent most of my school year in the library—then 2 hours at night reading at the kingdom hall (church). The premise is that you shouldn’t be loyal to any country but only to God.
IF you attended a public event, the trick was to be seated AFTER the pledge/anthem so as not to draw attention.
The kid can opt out of carrying the pledge with a note from his parents, but must stand quietly while the others say it.
I should have known.
What six year old would know anything about this?
