Does Ron Paul say the Pledge? I saw he sponsored a Pledge Protection act, but I wonder if he personally feels the need to swear fealty to this corrupt state.

[tangent4ronpaul]

Lol!

Did anyone here attend private school during elementary and did you have to say the pledge? At public school I know I did it everyday through the fourth grade, I think it stopped 5th grade (different public school) but if not, definitely stopped at 7th grade (public junior high)

...and to the Republic for which it stands...

Maybe Dr. Paul thinks about the Republic that it could be when he says the Pledge?

Catholic School - Pre-K to 1st grade: Pledge and songs and prayers.
Catholic School - 2nd grade to 4th grade: Pledge and prayers.
Public School - 5th grade: No Pledge.
Public School - 6th grade: Pledge said once per week.
Private School - 7th to 12th grades: Pledge said, but depending on your homeroom teacher you either did or didn't have to be quiet for it. I don't recall ever being forced to say it, but it seemed common sense to stand and be respectful and not chitchat while others were saying it.

I went to private school. We definitely didn't say the POA everyday, but did on special occasions. I don't remember when I actually learned it. We had prayer and worship everyday. My kids are in a similar private school. I'll ask them how often they say the pledge, but I'm thinking they do it once a week. Homeschool rocks. I wish I was in a position to do that.

I sort of feel this way on July 4th. Do I celebrate what's good about how the country was founded, or mourn over what it's become? I never really know which to do.

ROFL at the last part

I went to a private school from K-6 and we said it at the beginning of every day, when I moved and started going to a public school we didn't

I'm in public school and I really don't like it.

Public school and they said the pledge in the mornings all the way up to 12th grade.

Most of the kids didn't really care about the pledge to recite it, they kind of just stood there, while the announcer on the PA system read the pledge.

That changed after 9/11, on 9/12 everyone jumped up as soon as the announcer said "Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance", as if it was their duty to do so.
