I never said the pledge when I went to school. No one made me. No one makes anyone say the pledge. I did stand while others were saying it, so as not to be disrespectful to them.
And if a teacher told me to stand up, I most certainly stood up because a teacher absolutely has the authority to give basic commands like stand up, sit down, be quiet, and go to the principal's office. And if the kid won't obey those basic commands, then someone should make their parents eat a rock.
And what part of a military service didn't you you understand, flyboy? It comes with the job. And feel sorry for your great indoctrination. And respect, you should know that respect is earned, not a given. Too bad you don't undertand that. the kid wasn't in the armed forces, so fuck of with your wings.
I had teachers that earned that, and I would comply. Others, more authoritarian, did not. Your silly nationalistic rethoric doesn't fly here.
Perhaps one day you will understand that, but, I fear your pride is damaging your thoughts. Read this carefully again, Respect is earned, not a given. I guess if a teacher told you to bow down and drop your pants, you would be running for a table and put a bamboo on your mouth just to to not bite your tongue.
WTF? He was only told to stand up. I've told you a couple of times now that no one makes anyone say the pledge.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
