So how many of you 'patriots' say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at your job before you start to work? If the children should say it, why not the adults?
Maybe these folks should all say the Pledge with their kids and spouses before they leave the house in the morning? And I hope they all stand in their homes during the Anthem before NFL games. (Not counting the snowflakes who are boycotting the NFL)
SCOTUS ruled in 1943 that students cannot be forced to salute the flag or recite the PoA in public schools.
That's weird, as it never stopped you, me, or anyone else here from standing for it.
Could this be an empty gesture trend started when Colin "made it cool" to be unpatriotic? You bet.
Why don't we just outlaw the entire national anthem and pledge of allegiance if it bothers you so much? God forbid you inconvenience yourself by standing for our deceased troops.
There are people whose religious beliefs forbid taking such oaths. Are they disloyal for giving their allegiance to God alone?
We're not talking about religious sects for whom not doing it has been long established. You know that so stop with the deflecting. We're talking about the BLM, Antifa, and various far left types that hate anything and everything to do with the US.
Speaking just to the NFL folks, these are pampered millionaires who are amongst the most privileged people in our society, and we're supposed to feel sorry for them because they're being pressured to demonstrate some respect for the flag and the country while on the job? They can protest on their own time, not while at work.
There is a time and place for everything, and the time for protesting is not during the national anthem.

Yeah, I only do at school. I guess professional Boy Scooters, yes that is a thing would too. Not much else though, even professional sports.

I would myself but is that even mandatory at home? What about if played on the radio, do you stop your car. I know a radio station that daily plays the Pledge as by a school aged kid and another played the anthem at noon (not sure since it changed format from oldies to eighties...)

Um, OK.
Just curious, how often do you sing the anthem or recite the pledge? If you only do it at sports events, you’ve got no room to talk.
Wow, its sad how many folks are starting to hate simple patriotism.
The Pledge isn't patriotism; it's propaganda.
