My town recently had a controversy dealing with the Pledge of Allegiance. A teacher (and many of his students) refused to stand and that ruffled the feathers of some of the more conservative people.
I've discussed the issue with my family members, my neighbors, and anyone willing to chat in the cafe. Quite a few of them believe the Pledge of Allegiance should be mandatory for children in public schools. I've stated my opinion (that the Pledge should not be mandatory) and have even been called been called a 'commie' by some of the teabaggers.
What do you guys think? Should the Pledge be mandatory? Should the words 'under God' be removed?
