Should school have kids doing the pledge of allegiance every school day?

Government schools should be abolished, making this issue moot.

Why should government schools be abolished?

JoePineapples

Presumably so that religious schools can rule the airwaves

ViceRegent

Parents rule the roost.  You educate your kids at your expense and I will educate my kids at my expense.  It is called freedom.  Got it?  

Nope

ViceRegent I have a right to education. What if my parents can't education me.

Yes, I understand what you mean.
Why do you always have to be so abrasive?

ViceRegent

@Nope

I deny you have to right to education if that right involves stealing from your neighbors to pay for it.  And given what I have seen you post, someone is denying you this right.

Nope

ViceRegent It sounds as if you are agenst taxes. Would you like it if their was a place where their was no government?

ViceRegent

I do not care how I  “sound” to you.  Stop the irrational red herrings and stay out of my pocket.

@ViceRegent ;
Then do you oppose taxes? 

ViceRegent

@Fascism

No red herrings.

That isn't a red herring.

Public schools come from tax money. You say that that public schools come from stealing from your neighbors. I am just simply asking you "Is it stealing because of the taxes, or something else?" That is implied. 

A red herring is one which distracts the debate to another topic. My question stays on topic. 

ViceRegent

The topic is the government school system, not taxes. I️ will notvtespond further.

Fascism

@ViceRegent ;
In that case, the topic is the pledge of allegiance, not government school system. 

Nope

I don't see why I have to pledge every day. If I pledge ones a week is that not good? Do they think I will break it if I don't pledge every day?

Of course not, the act of forcing you to take a pledge is slavery, it denies you personal rights because of what? You happened to be born in the USA? Come on.

ViceRegent

@Schnuupi

You mean like forcing people to
fund government schools?

You were trying to change the subject to taxes. The only person comitting red herrings is you

Schnuupi

So you don't want to support educating children? You don't believe children should be given education for free? Disgusting. @ViceRegent

ViceRegent

No, I do not believe in forcing one group of people to fund the education of another group of people.  I thought you were against slavery.  Apparently not.

BTW, education is not free.  It is paid for by funds stolen from me and my neighbors, usually based on the fruit of my labor.

Then you simply mustn't care about debate.
Being civil is the first step to convincing someone of your position.
