here is the letter i gave him to give to the teacher in case they pull him out of class again and send him to the office like they did the other day....because the principal told him either to get a note from parents or to stand up and say it....he said the principal was upset and was asking him why and did he not love his country and just couldn't understand why he decided not to say it...so the last few days my son has just been standing up and acting like he's saying it...said when the teacher would look at him he would just move his mouth hahaha a few months back i did explain to my son who wrote the pledge and that you dont have to say it to love your country and he understands that washington is corrupt and understands a lot more than the average kid about politics and probably knows more than those teachers at his school.....he's been listening to freetalk live podcast with me for the last 3 years
....and back in 2008 his whole school had a little voting thing with all the kids and he was the only one that voted for ron paul
of course he had to write it in because ron was not on the list.....he's a very smart young man and im proud of him....

i give permission for my son to say or not say the pledge of allegience. i feel that it is his personal choice and his freedom to choose is what makes this country so special. he loves his country and understands that it is freedom of choice that he is exercising. saying the pledge of allegiance should never be forced on anyone seeing how that would go against everything this country stands for. thank you very much.

so i told him if they have anything to say to him again to give them this. hopefully this will keep them quite for a while....anyway thanks for the responses...just burns me up how crazy things are sometimes..
