Re: not killed, this is America afterall

About killed: it was a reference to the reaction I created, the last time I said something very similar. I guess the folks who lambasted me last time got it out of their systems!

About the rest: I (not being an expert) would be very surprised to find a federal law that required pledging. It would not surprise me to find state laws on the subject. It would surprise me very much if there are no municipal laws on the subject.

Doesn't matter: the lack of volition i refered to had nothing to do with legality. It had to do with adult teachers simply telling 5 & 6 year olds that they have to say these words now. I suppose that a parent could prep their kid in advance to refuse (good grief: what an emotional load to lay on such a child!).

Your experience, where the teacher apparently announced that it was not mandatory, is very different from mine: I was told to do it.
