More political/nationalist indoctrination for the kids. Pennsylvania bill to require pledge in schools:
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (AP) — Students in private and public schools would be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the national anthem each morning under a bill unanimously passed this week by the state Senate.
Republican Rep. Allan Egolf said he introduced the measure, which also would mandate the display of the American flag in all classrooms, after finding that some schools did not ask students to recite the pledge.
“It’s getting away from teaching about what our country stands for, what our founders did, and why we have the country we have,” Egolf said.
These people like to get to the kids while they’re young and impressionable.
