I wish schools could get out entirely of any business except teaching
reading, writing, math, and science, and helping kids learn how to
think. It was pretty much like that in the 1950's in my public
schools.
We didn't waste a second on crapola like school prayer and pledges.
Probqbly won't be wasting time on NEA ridden public schools in the
near future either.
Yeah, you'd do better in home schooling. Keeps you in the closet

some weird ****, not much info.. why do I care about such a project?
I have my reasons;)


Not *my* kind of guitar. Most of the ones I like are made in Spain. I
really like the sound, feel and look of certain Ramirez guitars, for
example, or the cedar-topped Manuel Rodriguez Jr. guitars.


That's like saying you don't like barberry bushes, but prefer sycamore trees
instead. Two totally different concepts.

No, it isn't. I'm not much of a fan of the music "created" by oddly
shaped guitars.

If this is truly a "free" country, then no one, not even a child, should
have to participate in a mandatory "pledge" to an inanimate object, such
as a flag.

They have to pledge their allegience to the cuilt religion of
"environmentalism". You can't talk about patriotism or god but they
will get indoctrinated with any crackpot theory that the education
system embraces


Where (city, state) have you personally experienced this happening in a
school? I'm not doubting you. I'm just adding to the list of places where my
son should avoid raising a family.

So, where?

We had a very progressive mayor in the mid-1950s, and there was a lot of
community pressure to "dump" school prayer locally long before it
happened nationally. I don't recall how it was handled within the school
system, but I do know that at the grammar school I attended, it just
stopped in about the fifth grade. By the time I got to junior high (we
had seventh through ninth junior high in those days, no more, though),
there was no morning standing and pledging.

One of the delights of New Haven in those days was the mish-mash of
cultures and religions, to the point where no group or sect really
dominated. The public schools did close, though, on the Jewish high
holidays, for which everyone was thankful!

Did you fight to get that religious holiday taken off the secular public
school calendar?

Fight to get a day off from school eliminated? Unlike you, I was smart
enough to graduate from high school.

The only kid in my grammar school days that didn't do "the pledge" quietly
stood in the back of the room while the rest of us went through the morning
ritual.

I remember asking him one day why he didn't do it. (this was like 5th
grade) He told me he was a Jehovah's Witness and they didn't believe in
it.

I didn't know what a Jehovah's Witness was from the man in the moon, but I
thought it was cool and said, "Ok".

What happened to your secular society Mr. Yale graduate, Dr. MD Wife,
36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, worked for a General (which side we
still don't know) during the Vietnam war, offered a big job in the Nixon
administration, owned a big Hatteras? Did I forget the smartest son of a
bitch on earth too?

With me you get the truth but, with you we get the lie of the moment.

So, where?

Lee County Florida for one but I am sure the save the manatee club and
the sierra club has influenced your school board too. It is just
stupid things like recycling as a religion and PETA causes that seem
to creep into the curriculum that really frost my ass. Most recently
it was just simple lies about where water flows in the estuary, driven
by a SMC tract that was handed out to teachers


Lee County Florida - did you, your kids or grandkids attend those schools?
That's what I meant by "personally experienced". Is that what you mean, too?
