Texas Making Students Stand for The Pledge

Two years ago, NFL player Colin Kaepernick brought notice to us as a country that we are not living up to the meaning of our flag, but we still have to stand...Why? Why do we have to stand even though it might be against our religion and why we have to stand if we’re not practicing the true meaning of the flag within our own country with each other.

“The pledge of allegiance is our justice and freedom in our country and we stand out of the respect for the flag because it is the symbol of what we stand for as Americans,” Brian Lemasters said.

Since kindergarten everyday of the school year, you have stand to pledge the flag. By the second grade you know the pledge allegiance by heart. Why do we do this?

“The flag is a symbol of who we are as Americans and if we don’t stand for that it says that you don’t honor to those set of values,” Lemasters said.

Standing for the flag honor our country’s values, that’s why we should stand. But what’s happens we the United States don’t live up to its own values? People begin to get upset and protests.

“I respect the right not to stand personally I think people should but if you don’t that’s your right”...... “I don’t think the protest is against the pledge it’s against the justice,” Officer Jackson explained.

It’s against our right to make us stand, but we should all stand for our country, but not standing has nothing to do with the flag. We just don’t have justice, and in order for everyone to honor and stand we have get that justice in play.

“The pledge of allegiance is an action by Congress, as Americans we have to stand for something if we don’t agree on some of those values we need to working together to get it changed, the consequences should aim at the effect of not standing not aim at you,” Lemasters said.

We shouldn’t fight the next person about not standing or punish them, or even throw bad things to their name. People that don’t stand don’t hate our country. They just want an understanding, a change to make us as a country better. So should there be a problem going against the pledge policy?

“In school we don’t have a choice, you may eject, the ejection is not the pledge itself, the ejections are to the value of what it stands for, so no, not standing shouldn’t have a problem we should just fix it,” Lemasters said.
