Your opinion on the pledge of allegiance

Mesa • Wed, Aug 26

I personally grew up doing the pledge of allegiance every morning in school and as a American who lives in America I love it, why? Because this is my country and I love here and I'm proud....it almost hurts that the pledge of allegiance isn't happening in schools anymore because people from other countries are offended by it....I even read about a couple schools who won't be flying the American flag anymore because it's upsetting to some people....

I think people are becoming to sensitive..if you live in America then you should be happy and proud or at least not offended by the fact that others are happy living here. This doesn't make sense to me....

These kinds of things will come into play when I pick a school for my child to go to if not then him and I will do the pledge of allegiance outside the classroom before he goes in, I feel like this is American tradition and it's upsetting that we're to worried about what non Americans living in America think

And I'm not adding this anonymously because it's something I feel strongly about, if you attack me about this no offense but I won't reply to you...I'm not gonna argue I'm stating my opinion and seeking to see what others think
