Pledge Of Allegiance
Why I Am Proud To Say The Pledge Of Allegiance

I am proud to say the Pledge Allegiance to the flag. The flag represents that we have freedom in speech and equal rights for women and men. I am proud because I have equal rights as a citizen and I am able to go to school unlike other nations. I am also proud that I can have my own religion without having someone else force me into a different one. The flag stands for the republic, which is a democratic government elected by the citizens of the United States. Our republic is different then some other nations,so we should be glad that we, as citizens, can vote for leaders. I am glad of this because if we didn't have this, then we wouldn't be able to have our

    Pledge Of Allegiance: Case Study

    As a very high priced and respected legal advisor I would advise Ms. Charmander of her legal rights. I would also advise her of her duties as a teacher. In this scenario Ms. Charmander has an academic freedom to decide what she wants to teach in her classroom. She also feels as if the Pledge of Allegiance is promoting the endorsement of religion. Which is not allowed in a public school setting. Her students also have a 1st amendment right to hear and say the Pledge of Allegiance. The state cannot prevent people from practicing or expressing themselves as long as they are not disruptive. Ms. Charmander also has the responsibility to teach what the school has set in their curriculum. Teachers are generally allowed some of their own freedoms in how they deliver their curriculum. In this case it seems if the school is set on this particular subject. In fact…

    Under God In The Pledge Of Allegiance

    When they added the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, it struck a controversy. Which some people argued it violates their First Amendment. But the phrase reflects America’s civic culture and it isn’t necessarily a religious statement. Though, people has the right to say the Pledge omitting the phrase, thus not violating their freedom of religion.…

    Under God in the Pledge

    The establishment clause is interesting to me, personally, because I feel that the clause is as vague as it is precise. The establishment clause states that “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”, however by not respecting an establishment of religion, you can in turn be respecting an establishment of another religion. In the case Newdow vs. US Congress, The Ninth Court revealed that the sole purpose of inserting ‘under god’ was to advance religion, to differentiate the US from other nations under Communist, or godless, rule. Religion is defined as “a collection of belief systems, cultural systems, and world views…”; to believe in no God most certainly falls under the category of religion, therefore both removing and keeping the ‘Under God’ portion of the Pledge either respects the belief systems of both those who believe in a God, and those who do not. This religious power struggle is the source of our conflict.…

    Pledge Of Allegiance Analysis

    How would Americans feel if they were prompted to participate in unconstitutional acts every day? Americans dread the thought of having their second amendment stripped away from them. However, what they do not realize is that each morning they are expected to recite a phrase that strips them of their civil rights, as stated in the first amendment: separation of church and state. The Establishment Clause forbids the government from favoring one religion, yet students are supposed to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each morning, which includes the phrase, “under God”. In the Constitution, James Madison wrote that the government shall in no way break the barrier between church and state. This means that religion has no place in politics, or anything government related. Therefore, the phrase “under God” in the pledge should be omitted because it is unconstitutional, challenges the rights of atheists and humanists who do not believe in religion, and subjects students to extreme and unnecessary ridicule.…

    The Star Spangled Banner

    All lives matter. No matter the color of skin, each life matters. In spite of many people believing this, race does not decide whether or not you get shot by a police officer. Colin Kaepernick is a national league football star who has taken protesting too far. Black lives matter is a great topic to protest against; nevertheless kneeling during the National Anthem is not okay. “The Star Spangled Banner” has been played at every sporting event since the first minor league football game. Choosing to sit now is plain and simple disrespect to America. Colin Kaepernick is showing disrespect towards our United States veterans, furthermore, is an inadequate role model for the thousands of children watching him: he is acting unpatriotic toward America.…

    People all over the United States are insisting whether or not we as americans have to stand for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem.

Though, standing for the pledge of allegiance respects those who fought for us, it also goes against civil rights and religious beliefs both in which abide with the constitution.…

    What Does Patriotism Mean To Me

    I am proud of my country and I am not ashamed to fly the American Flag. Many men and women have died to give me the freedoms that I take for granted. I applaud their patriotism, and I thank them for giving me my way of life. I will support them in protecting my country. I will try to elect officials who believe in the issues I do, and who work for the better good of all. I will not follow blindly and not ask questions or agree with everything my government says or does. I hope that you, as an American citizen will learn about your government and actively support it, by voting, writing your congressmen, and making a difference for peace.…

    Oath To France

    France is at a critical point in its history something needs to change if we are to stay united as one France. As of now the national assembly wants to take away the church’s land and change the tradition of the Catholic Church in France. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy wants Church officials to be elected instead of appointed. Elections are not subject to papal confirmation which means that the new bishop may not apply to the pope for any form of confirmation. The new constitution states that the clergy must swear an oath to France first and God and the pope second. They want us to become loyal servants of the state instead of servants of God and the church. This is the direction that France is going in if the Civil Constitution of the…

    In one of the first posts on this blog, I compared Lincoln’s two-minute address with the two-hour oration by Edward Everett on the same occasion. Today the former is universally regarded as one of the most famous speeches in American history; the latter is largely forgotten. Indeed, Everett himself recognized the genius of Lincoln’s speech in a note that he sent to the President shortly after the event:…

    The Giving Pledge

    What is “the giving pledge”? It’s a solemnly bound “promise” which beats the normal promise. Because a pledge is something you are bound to do, and there is no way around it. You could say that “pledge” have a higher status of word if you compare it to “promise”. “The giving pledge” is a band of billionaires who donate money to charity. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates took the initiative to gather a lot of rich Americans and persuade them to give more than 50% of their fortune to charity.…
