rest of the members did a very good job following the rules. They allowed free debate and respected the opinions of other members and people that spoke. However‚ I did not know why Mr. Carrier and Laura Root did not vote on matters. After the pledge of allegiance‚ I thought it was a good idea for the school board to ask the students in attendance to introduce themselves. It made us feel more involved and welcome.

Our society is as paradoxical as a Puritan congregation: We stand together‚ alone.” (360) What that quote meant to me was that although we are all living in America (the country that pledges allegiance to the diversity)‚ we still look for differences in everybody opposed to embracing their commonalities.

I am proud to be an American because we are the most free country on earth. I know I don’t have to bow to any man and I can worship my God in the way and in the place of my choice.

From day one the kindergartener is told to stand up‚ place their right hand over their heart‚ and pledge allegiance to the flag.

There is no vindictive shadow behind his aspirations‚ truly I believe he is being merciful in his descent

They only view Allah as a god and other gods cannot take that place. If the muslims pledge allegiance to Allah throughout their lives Allah might in turn‚ give them eternal life in heaven.
