    That’s very strange. In the schools I’ve been to it was just the pledge, and you don’t have to stand. They aren’t legally allowed to force you to stand or say it, but some schools do anyway.

      That’s part of the problem of states handling everything so differently. In New York, I had the pledge every morning, that’s pretty much national, but nothing else almost ever outside of sports (national anthem). Not only did they know you didn’t have to stand, they taught us that in history class.

      How can you come together “as a nation” when your education from state to state can be completely different.
