    Should kids say the pledge in school everyday? My research paper is over the argument that seems to be happening a lot at schools, the fact that we still do the Pledge of Allegiance. Some parents don’t like to have their kids doing the pledge every day at school, it’s against their religion and what they believe in. But just because there your children doesn’t mean you should make them believe in what they do. They have their own mindset, it’s not fair if the parents make them follow and do…

    case. In 2000-2002 Michael Newdow is an atheist who wants to take out the “under God” in the pledge of allegiance because it is an endorsement to religion.

    our right to free speech. For the past couple years we have been fighting to keep the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools because it merely mentions God. What happened to our freedom of religion? Mentioning God in the Pledge of Allegiance is not forcing religious beliefs on anyone, nor is it being used in a rude or offensive way, so why is it that some schools are not allowing students or staff to say the Pledge? Freedom of Religion is an American right that…

    freedom of religion. People didn’t oppose the unanimous act of Congress to add God to the pledge until 2002.

    indoctrination. We see this first when the children are told to memorize the Pledge of Allegiance. They did not question the meaning of it and all they knew was that they have to memorize it because it is “patriotic”. This relates to the topic sentence by showing that even if things are in its natural form, but presented with logic, then the children, or perhaps anyone, will believe in the reasoning. For example, the Pledge of Allegiance’ evidence for being patriotic was that it is part of the…

    When two rhetors are engaging in a debate, they can easily argue past one another if a mutual level of stasis is not settled upon.
