    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…

    The United States Pledge of Allegiance is an honorable and commendable mantra. It concludes with, “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Justice in the former reference is inclusive for everyone, an entitlement, granted upon birth. John Rawls position of justice is that “everyone should be treated equally and as fair as possible”. Mr. Rawls position parallels the Egalitarian theory of equality and mutual respect. This isn’t necessarily the practice because contrary to the hope for multiple factors are factored in to the outcome.…

    “Give me liberty, or give me death!” Patrick Henry’s famous words still remain in history to influence our country, but many Americans generally neglect this phrase. We often take our freedom for granted without understanding how our Founding Fathers fought for our liberty from Britain. As Americans, we should respect our country and the freedom and rights given to us. We shouldn’t take this for granted because so many people around the world are unfortunate to not have this gift that most of us were born with or given.…

    The Pledge of Allegiance is one of the most common morning traditions throughout American public schools. The expression of loyalty was altered and modified four times during its existence to be muttered, yawned, or delivered by millions of students. The first composed version stated “ I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" (Robinson). The most current addition of the Pledge adds the phrase “under God,” implying “monotheism and control... God who interferes with events on earth guiding the U.S. in the direction that he wishes.” Requiring and promoting the Pledge with this new addition of words erupted criticism and legal disputes in the United States.…

    Not only was it unnecessarily changed to avoid Communist accusations, it was changed to favor one religion, which is strictly prohibited in our nation’s Constitution. Atheists should not be disciplined for not reciting it- and should not be scorned for having different beliefs. The easiest way to fix the unconstitutional pledge would be to remove the phrase “under God,”, and revert back to the original version our country recited before 1954. Times have changed, and it is no longer necessary or constitutional to identify as a Christian nation. Changing the pledge would benefit students who are forced to recite it, individuals who choose not to believe in religion, and the standards to which our nation is…

    The legal side of the pledge of allegiance, it has been brought up to the supreme court more then one separate occasion. “The state’s Supreme Judicial Court is currently weighing an atheist couple’s argument that the words “under God” be struck from the Pledge of Allegiance, because they claim the phrase is exclusionary to atheist children like theirs” (Let’s End the Pledge of Allegiance in Schools). Again, going back to the history, the original version of the pledge of allegiance had no stating of religion. When Francis Bellamy added “under God” into the pledge, what he didn't realize is that it was violating peoples freedom of religion and was to be used in public school systems across the country. It sparked a world wide debate that is…

    What I learn is that it is unconstitutional to stand for the pledge. Therefore, I agree with that statement. One time, in school there was a student who did not wanted to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. So the teacher forced him to stand. That means it is not mandatory.…

    The Pledge of Allegiance is a ritual that should not be required to be recited in any US schools, the reason why is because it references to false religious beliefs, does not truly promise anything for the majority of America, and ultimately does not make you more “patriotic”. Some people consider the Pledge to be “An outdated and unnecessary ritual with a constitutionally questionable reference and false promises of liberty and justice for all” (Tucker). It has become an artifact of the past and really does not promise liberty and justice for all, people just recite it because they have to and really don’t mean anything they recite. Many say that the Pledge makes you more patriotic, how though? “Is San Fransisco any less patriotic because…

    In 1954, President Eisenhower and Congress added the phrase “under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance. It has remained in our nation’s pledge for sixty-two years. However, some of our nation’s population believes that the words “under God” are a religious phrase and therefore violate the establishment clause of the first amendment. They think that “under God” is offensive and too straightforward and do not realize the history behind it. I strongly believe that the words “under God” should be kept in the Pledge of Allegiance.…
