according to my english teacher, i have to stand in the hall while the class says the pledge because i choose not to stand for my own reasons. my reason being that i don't believe the pledge. especially the "and justice for all". how could that be accurate? well, i don't want special treatment for not standing for the pledge. my teacher

lame and false.

uhm. thats descrimination based on political beliefs.

i dont so much think your first block class are fascists. i think its more so they are brainwashed by the idea that standing up for your beliefs is ok as long as its congruent to the beliefs of the "patriotic" majority. thats such bullshit. this country was founded on freedom of speech and freedom of religion (or beliefs) ideals. its nice to know that our youth have been brainwashed with this brain rot.

fuck'em. they dont know what they stand for anyways.

amen.

its comforting to know someone else knew how i felt going through high school, but i dont wish that on anything. its completely uncalled for in this country. but then again, what do you expect from a country that preeches about perserving democracy when we arent even a pure democracy. CANADA IS MORE OF A DEMOCRACY THAN US!

grrr.

in this country you should be able to burn a flag in protest without getting arrested. you should be able to protest a war that is BEING FUNDED BY OUR TAX DOLLARS. it is our obligation in this country to Question leaders, and Question thier motives. anyone that believes doing any of this is "unamerican" or "disrespectful" or "unpatriotic" is obviously no aware of thier job as a citizen of this nation and needs deported to a country in which it is unpartiotic and disrespectful such as communist china. =p

You're under Kanawha County's BoA, right?

Apparently, it's a school rule that we have to stand, but we don't have to recite the pledge.

A guy apparently got sent to the office today for this exact reason. And you're right, you should be given the right to stand or not to stand.
