Someone on FB is trying to tell me that you can't say the pledge of allegiance in schools any more. I asked exactly where, and he said, most of Washington state, thanks to Obama.
I am TOTALLY CONVINCED NOW.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Right, because that's the sort of thing Obama would do: take on the rage of more than half the country for no good reason. So stupid.
Where do you find these people, Dana? I swear...

I still haven't gotten him to provide any kind of proof, but I did find an article saying that a particular school district does not require kids to say it. Which is, as you know Bob, an entirely different thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was in school 30 fucking years ago, it wasn't required!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can tell you, as someone who works in public schools in possibly the only blue state to have a serious sovereignty movement, that kids here say it in at least some elementary classrooms.

The status is NOT quo.
If it's the article I'm thinking of, he might read down to the part where the author starts talking about Fappy the Masturbating Dolphin.
Also point out the .co at the end, which is a sure sign of a fake site.

Of course, he may be the kind of person who prefers "alternative facts" to actual facts. Sigh.
