While I was teaching, in the state of Pennsylvania in around 2004, the state passed a law making the pledge mandatory, or standing and singing the national anthem. The law got killed by the courts. I told my homeroom, before the court case was settled to be prepared to sing, loud and "proud" and in any key because that's what we would do.

Since the decision doesn't affect students this would seem pointless. They are the one's who need to be protected.

They're also opposed to "liberty and justice for all" cause that certainly isn't true.

I remember when they added that in. I was only 11, but I don't remember any backlash at all at the time. I do remember that it took a long time before everyone got used to saying it. It doesn't belong in there.

Well...maybe common sense hasn't quite died yet...

Very well explained but it's shocking anyway.

Bravo! This will have the Christian Nationalists storming the North!
