Does your school still say the Pledge of Allegiance? I've seen posts around facebook lately along the lines of "bring the pledge back into school" or "Do you remember when?" with pictures of kids facing the flag. And it got me to wondering how many schools still did this, if it was a regional thing, private/public thing, ect.
We are a public school and still have the pledge broadcast every morning at the start of the day. Every kid (and staff) stand, face the flag and recite together. Obviously from my name, you can gather I'm in the midwest.
My daughters, now 20, said the pledge until the 5th grade then it was banned and illegal or unconstitutional until this school year when schools just started saying it again so my son now 11, had to learn it. So when the big campaign to return it and God back a lot of schools banned together and just started the practice, no one has tried to stop it and the local news began saying the pledge every morning too.
