Reply #34: The dumbass teacher should concentrate on educating your son...

[maveric]

and not on seeing that he maintains loyalty to the damn flag! What an idiot!
My son was also put on "referral" for refusing to stand and recite the pledge. They called me and I told them that its not mandatory for students to do the pledge ritual and if he doesn't want to do it, then thats fine with me. The asst. principal told me that we are at war and its important that we support our country and our president, yadda..yadda..yadda... I told her that my son respects this country but is not in agreement with the unauthorized invasion of an innocent nation that was no threat to us. Then this idiot said to me "Didn't 9/11 mean anything to you?" ARRGGHH!!! Then I went off on her about what did Iraq have to do with 9/11... Anyway.... he does not stand for the pledge if he doesn't feel like it and he has my consent and they cant do a damn thing about it.

Concentrate on educating our children, not teaching them to carry the torch of propaganda.
