Mornings in the classroom start very similar across the United States. Students unpack their backpacks, say hello to their friends, listen to school announcements, and say the The Pledge of Allegiance with their peers...
Wait, what about that last one. Yes, The Pledge of Allegiance. Do you think kids should say The Pledge of Allegiance everyday? Do you believe in what the pledge states?
The Dreamer’s Brigade thinks that school children should say
The Pledge of Allegiance every morning, because it is proudly proclaiming that the
American dream is alive and well. The purpose of the pledge is to remind
children that others have fought and died for their freedom more so than
actually pledging allegiance to their country. And, it reminds them that they can
be anything they dream because they live in the United States of America. It
also creates an alliance between the children and something greater than
themselves and provides them a way to belong. The Pledge of Allegiance is the
binding force that keeps us Americans, regardless of personal religious
beliefs.
What do you think?
