Patriotism and discipline are out ... because we need diversity ... and we don't want to infringe on anybody's first amendment rights ...

Raising children for failure and to simply take over existing spots in the ghetto.

Many public schools have become a form of child abuse.

As a Lion myself, I find the chant EXTMERLY offensive and exclusionary.

"It is almost a law of history that the same wealth that generates a civilization announces its decay. For wealth produce ease as well as art; it softens a people to the ways of luxury and peace and invites invasion from stronger arms and hungrier mouths."

Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School announced on Tuesday it will be eliminating the Pledge of Allegiance from its morning agenda to make the institution more inclusive.

Deport all illegals. No exceptions. As for legal immigrants, if the Pledge of Allegiance offends them, they need to be sent home. I'm done bending over backwards for the perpetually offended. "Bend over for illegal criminals" sounds too much like BOHICA to me.

This is just another tiny tiny baby step in balkanization of the American culture.

Reciting loyalty pledges to certain groups or organizations excluding your Macro Nation-State.

The new goal is the lowest common denominator. The more you aim for it, the lower it gets.

When I was in elementary and jr high school we recited the Pledge. But if a student or parent had any objection to reciting it all it took was a note from their parents and they were excused, no questions asked. And our parents and teachers admonished us in no uncertain terms not to harass those kids and respect their views, just as they were expected to respect others as well. But once again we see anything that was sensible then is inherently eeevil and rayyycist.

Any school receiving tax dollars should be required to teach true American history and civics. They should be required to read and understand Lincolns address of 1838 to Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield.

And yet they make them take the school oath...

The pledge is very inclusive - if you’re an American.

Opening lines of the "Wolfpack Chant"

NOW this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

The whole code goes on and on, but always coming back to the same theme, that wolves and the Pack are inseparable.

Why do so many Americans hate their own country?!

If I were a student there, I’d stand up and say it anyway.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I have to confess I don’t even know what the wolf pack chant is.

This is okay, but the Pledge of Allegiance is too edgy.
