I teach, and not only do we say the American Pledge of Allegiance, but we also say the Texas Pledge of Allegiance, and kids have to know and understand the meaning of the words. They are actually tested on them in 5th grade.
That's the way it was when I went to school. We were taught to revere the Constitution and admire our Founding Fathers. Had to memorize and recite Patrick Henry's speech ending in "give me liberty or give me death."
I say this as someone who went to both public and private schools. It was the same in both.
We were certainly taught to revere the Constitution and appreciate the founding Fathers, but we didn't have to memorize any of the great speeches.
Not a single field trip to the law library in the County seat. Reading what these men actually wrote and said as recorded in Congressional meetings should compromise the bulk of studying US history. Instead, what they indoctrinate with is others saying what they said, and distorting all of it.
You may enjoy this family story. My brother was born in Texas but moved to a different state early on. When he was in elementary school, he wouldn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. After awhile, the teacher asked him why he wasn't standing for the pledge. He said, "I'm from Texas." He thought he was from a different country or something.
We need to reverse the Bush era regulation that made it impossible to declare student loan bankruptcy. Universities will cut the bullshit from their curricula.
Might also consider forcing universities to publish job placement data; who wants to major in something with a 5% career placement success rate? Most universities just hand you a diploma and say here's your hat, what's your hurry? as they boot you out the door.
All the lefty majors will completely vanish. What bank is going to loan money to a liberal student knowing that person will immediately declare bankruptcy once they graduate. They gladly take the student loan money to study their retarded major and then the professors teach them that banks are evil.
Damn good start. Just saying the Pledge of Allegiance in homeroom might be tough enough with the teacher unions.

I mean at one point it was haha.
Our school too! Morning prayer, pledge of allegiance, and anthem! Plus a big party and gift ceremony for vets on Veterans Day.
This should be done in every school. Let commies Homeschool.
Don't even let commies homeschool. Only good Marxist is a dead Marxist.
Da fuck is the Texas Pledge of Allegiance?
The only people with bigger egos than Texans are Alaskans who know their state is bigger and better.
Its definitely my favorite rivalry. Especially since Texas thinks everything needs to be Texas shaped, including hotel waffle irons.
With bbq and carnitas for all
I like this pledge!
Texas was its own country, before it became a state....
Don't Mess with Texas!
Now wear your mask!
Is that it?
When I was a kid, we learned how to diagram it as a sentence. I wonder if they still do that.
My wife is kinder teacher. First thing the kids learn after the ABCs is memorize the pledge of allegiance.

Of all the things college professors are wrong about, that ain't one of them.
The point I'm making is don't borrow money if you don't intend to repay it.
A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind
Good book, banned on Amazon even
