Because Mindless Mandatory Repetition Instills Patriotism
-
Here we go again with another attempt to legislate kids into saying the Pledge of Allegiance in class, this time with two bills making their way through committee in Oklahoma. A couple of things: Saying the pledge is harmless. It's also totally unnecessary, because, having grown up with the Pledge in every class from kindergarten through high school, I can remember that nobody actually said it or thought about what it means, not once. Everyone just slurred through it; it was just another meaningless chore to the kids. There are better ways to instill citizenship. (KOCO-TV/Oklahoma City)
