LB990 - Change flag display provisions schools/require recitation of the Pledge

<< < (2/2)

HuskerXDM:
At my (elementary) school, The Pledge is led every morning by the principal and a couple of students.  Participation is not mandatory and we have a few kids that choose not to participate.

It would be a bad day for my children if I found out they had declined to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance at school. Maybe the school can't force it, but I can certainly be a very persuasive man if necessary.

We have a high population of ELL (English Language Learners) so mostly it is a cultural thing.  Also some religions do not allow as it is viewed as idol worship.  Again, very few kids.  One of my teachers read one kid the riot act about it, but his family is Eastern European (former Soviet) and they tend to be very distrustful of government, so I had him back off.  Not worth the headache of a parent coming in ballistic.
