>>>A six-year-old has no business "deciding" what he wants to do or not, particularly in politics. Six-year-olds have brains that are about 85 percent brain fart. Six-year-olds (and I've raised a couple) need to be told what to do pretty much 24-7, and almost everything they are taught is because some adult "made" them learn it. Sorry, but "compulsory" pretty much defines their day in school and out of it. You can bet they would prefer not to have to learn multiplication tables either.

So? What does that have to do with making them pledge an eternal oath?

>>>If a kid this age is objecting to the Pledge, you can bet your bottom dollar it is because one or more of his "progressive" parents has drilled the idea into him.

I believe that I was saying that a 6 year old would *not* object.

You and Dan both seem to be confusing oaths with education. They are different topics. Maybe that's the problem: since schools are the places this swearing takes place, we equate it with teaching?
