Standing For The Pledge Of Allegiance And National Anthem
People all over the United States are insisting whether or not we as americans have to stand for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem. Standing for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem comes with obligations that go beyond our comfort level. In addition, the united states still has problems with racism and those who are against racism feel the need to not have to stand for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem. Though, standing for the pledge of allegiance respects those who fought for us, it also goes against civil rights and religious beliefs both in which abide with the constitution.

    All students must be silent, as said in a memo. According to page one it says “Say, ‘please all rise and stand at respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem’” This applies because it is directly stated in the memo .On page 44 Mr. Benison says “Right ‘respect, silence, and attention,’ I think the rule reads.” Even a teacher, says that all students must be quiet.…

    National Anthem Rhetorical Analysis

    People who affiliate with the right-wing, all to often, conveniently neglect the First Amendment when it concerns matters regarding racial equality. The stains of the past cannot/should not be forgotten as hideous elements linger on in our current culture. I speak, of course, of the disproportionate incarceration rates of African Americans compared to whites and the proliferation of the number of instances when police officers use deadly force against minority populations. This, and this alone, was Colin Kaepernick's original message when he courageously took a knee during the National Anthem. The distortion of this fact and the deflection towards disrespecting the military and our country omits the central issue…

    United States Pledge Of Allegiance Analysis

    The United States Pledge of Allegiance is an honorable and commendable mantra. It concludes with, “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Justice in the former reference is inclusive for everyone, an entitlement, granted upon birth. John Rawls position of justice is that “everyone should be treated equally and as fair as possible”. Mr. Rawls position parallels the Egalitarian theory of equality and mutual respect. This isn’t necessarily the practice because contrary to the hope for multiple factors are factored in to the outcome.…

    When they added the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, it struck a controversy. Which some people argued it violates their First Amendment. But the phrase reflects America’s civic culture and it isn’t necessarily a religious statement. Though, people has the right to say the Pledge omitting the phrase, thus not violating their freedom of religion.…

    Argumentative Essay: What Is Rafi Badwi?

    Does standing up for liberty simply mean to stand up just for those in this country? Are the rights in the Declaration of Independence only inherent to those in this country, or are they instead fundamental human rights wherever humanity exists? The rights of men to be treated equally should not be limited only to American citizens but to human beings everywhere striving to be free. Anyone serious about the movement of liberty has the responsibility to speak up for the voiceless and those who can’t speak for themselves.…

    Words In The Pledge Of Allegiance

    While I agree with you that there are plenty of other issues going on in the world that needs to be addressed; however, I do think that this is one of those issues. I believe that this is a problem because it still stands for a country that no longer represents what those words have to say. Keeping those words in the Pledge of Allegiance only further promotes reasons for people to point out those that are different. I'm not religious at all and I have never been. I was forced as a child to go to church and I was forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day at school. It always made me feel uncomfortable to say under God because I never felt that it represented me and what I thought our country stood for. We can't keep saying…

    Importance Of Under God In The Pledge Of Allegiance

    The pledge of allegiance has remained an important part of the American legacy and culture. It takes part in the American school system, in American sports, and in many other areas. Many say that the pledge holds a place in their hearts, where it allows them to show their pride for their country. But in this pledge there are two words that have a tendency ring in the ears of many Americans, “under god.” In a country that is proud of the separation of church and state, we leave these words in a pledge that is said everyday by millions of Americans who believe and trust the right of separation of church of state yet we fail to do this for a major component in American culture. The words “under god” hold little meaning and should not be placed in the pledge of allegiance, they should be removed permanently.…

    Pledge Of Allegiance In School

    My choice of writing for the Rogerian essay is on the topic of the Pledge of Allegiance in School. “In a decision that stunned the nation, a federal appeals court in June ruled that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional because the pledge contains the words "under God" “ (Chmielewski). The banning of the Pledge of Allegiance is a very large controversial topic because one side believes that while the foundation of our country is religion, the other side believes that the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance is an infringement on our First Amendment right. The Pledge of Allegiance began in 1892. It was a way of showing a sense of celebration for being an American. Since 1892…

    The Racism Flag And The Civil Rights Movement

    In addition, the notorious flag has remained a racist symbol. Although decades have passed since the Civil Rights movement, the use of the flag in opposition can be paralleled to the current issues of today, especially in regards to African-Americans. The flag, which has historically served as a token of opposition to movements and government acts that promoted racial equality among African-Americans and whites, has been used by racist and white supremacist groups among the likes of the Ku Klux Klan and Dixiecrats to oppress advocates of equality (Lowery 1). In regards to white supremacy, the flag has always remained a symbol of entitlement and superiority against minorities. There are still Southern pride rallies across the South that promotes…

    The Pledge of Allegiance

    Pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands. One nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So is it that hard? Now be honest. When the announcements came on the television at 7:17 in the morning, how many people were excited to stand up and say the pledge of allegiance? I would like to make a bet that more than half of you in this room didn't even say the pledge of allegiance. And go farther with that, more than half of the kids in the school didn't say the pledge of allegiance. Many kids take the pledge of allegiance as something they have to say. I believe that everyone should want to say it, and not feel like it something they have to do. The Pledge of Allegiance is a promise or oath of allegiance to the United States, and to its national flag. It is commonly recited in unison at public events, and especially in public school classrooms, where the Pledge is often a morning ritual. Now hearing what the pledge of allegiance actually is does it change your mind about actually saying it or would you rather still stand there and hear it ? The pledge of allegiance repersents the united states of america, so if you like to just stand there and hear it be said, or worse than that talk during the pledge of allegiance, all you are doing is showing disrespect to our country. Right now there are troops over seas, as all of you should know. Everytime you disrespect our country it is providing the assumption that you don't care how the troops are risking there life for your freedom. OK maybe not you personally. But the united states of america. And all of you are legal citizens of the united states. If it is something so little people are asking from you. Why can't you do it? When there are people over seas dying, injured, and suffering for you. One thing in return wouldn't hurt. Simply showing respect. And it's not just the point of people not saying the…

    Graduation Speech: Our Pledge Of Allegiance

    Our dollar bills have the quote of “in God we trust” and our Pledge of Allegiance has “one nation under God”. The Supreme Court now has a new judge who has strictly made decision based on his faith. Their faiths may not be the same as you and I profess. Your religion may not be the same as his and he may not have a religion at all. We have been taught about the US Constitution since we were in elementary school, I remember singing a song about James Madison writing about the Constitution which includes the 10 amendments. The first amendment is the freedom of the people to exercise any belief they choose to follow. This was in 1787 and Madison purposely wrote this amendment to break away from how the British ruled over them.…
