Down With the Pledge!
These posts from the LewRockwell.com Blog bring back memories of my own highschool anti-pledge protest:
Lew Rockwell rightly calls it "an anti-secessionist oath of fealty to centralized government and its myths" — Young Heretics vs. the Flag Religion;
Fr. Seraphim Bell describes his own "peaceful resistance to the State" — The Flag;
Laurence Vance notes that in 1943, the "Supreme Court overturned a West Virginia law that compelled public school children to salute the flag and recite the Pledge" — The Right to Not Pledge to the Flag.
My own revolution didn't last long. A friend, whose "Reagan Hates Me" t-Shirt I always admired, and I refused to stand, until the homeroom teacher yelled at us.
