Did/do you stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?
The world will shine with light in our nightmare:
What it says on the tin.
I stood for and recited the pledge out of sheer habit and not to get yelled at, so yes, but if I were to relive my K12 days, I wouldn't. I think Christians should refrain from pledging their allegiance to any flag, regardless of what it's meant to stand for, and regardless of whether God's name is invoked in the pledge. I think courtroom oaths are more acceptable because you are pledging to tell the truth. But pledging one's allegiance to a piece of cloth seems anti-Christian to me, and just plain creepy to boot.
Thanks to West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943), it cannot be mandatory.

When I was in elementary school in the 90s, everyone did.
I work in an elementary school now, and I don't.
