Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My Country Tis of Thee is the same as God Save the Queen.

Yeah, I edited, but not quickly enough for my super-speedy Buffistae!
I'm pretty sure you only think that because you're a socialist.
Yeah, I'm a socialist capitalist.
I currently teach middle school, but when I was at a HS 4 years ago, we said it there, too.
Speaking of teaching...gotta go do that now!
I went to high school in the People's Republic of Cambridge, so there was no pledging allegiance to anything.
(sorry)
You weren't the only one to go there.
I wasn't even required to stand. I don't recall anyone, teachers or students, having an issue. I feel like even saying, "Ok, you don't have to say it, but you will stand with everyone else," is still...I don't know.
As I recall we did the pledge only when either we were in the same classroom all day, or had a morning assembly. That ceased to be the case in middle school (or junior high as they called it there) and high school.
I don't know if they do the pledge at the kid's schools, probably. On a tangent, when I've seen the middle school and high school here it feels so strange to me to have everything in one building. My middle school had 4-5 buildings and my high school had, I think, 9 buildings and a few trailers for overflow. It feels weird to walk into a high school where everything is all under a single roof.
