A group of Republican state senators have proposed a bill that would make the Pledge of Allegiance mandatory for every public school student in Michigan.
Republican state Sen. Roger Kahn’s SB 637 would also require schools to purchase a flag for every classroom.
“THE BOARD OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL ACADEMY SHALL ENSURE THAT EACH PUPIL IN EACH PUBLIC SCHOOL IT OPERATES IS REQUIRED TO RECITE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES EACH SCHOOL DAY,” the bill says.
Ok, wow, talk about indoctrination. Forget for a minute about the unconstitutionality of making somebody chant they believe in God with public money. These Republicans would have done well in the Soviet Union where all citizens had to pledge allegiance to the state. Even more crazy to force kids to do it. These people really don't belong in a secular, democratic government. They should resign.
