[QUOTE="espringers, post: 311576, member: 816"] true story: i am presenting on a case to a civics class at the local high school before the supreme court came to town to hold hearings in our old courthouse downtown. i decide it would be a bit cooler and a little less work to ask a colleague and co-worker of mine who i obviously didn't know too well to study and present one side and i would present the other. so, i asked if he would tag along and he gladly agreed. we arrived about 5 minutes late that morning. so, class had already started. things went well. for the afternoon class, we arrived early. much to my surprise and delight, the entire class rose to their feet as one student led them all in the pledge of allegiance. of course i rose too, put my hand at my heart and recited the words i probably hadn't said since grade school. the fella i brought along just sat on his ass. i kind of nudged him. he looks up at me and sort of shakes his head, "no". we were sort of in the corner of the room with the students facing the flag at the other end. so, i think very few if any of them noticed. but, afterwards, as we were walking down the hall, i says to him, "what the fuck was that?". he says ever so nonchalantly, "that ain't my thing. i don't stand for the national anthem either." you could have cut the tension and the silence with a knife. flabbergasted i was! so, i tell the story to a few other friends, do some digging, asking questions, etc... turns out he was/is literally a card carrying socialist... at least that is what i was told. anyway, if you are reading this and i was misinformed about your socialist affiliations, i apologize. but, for fucks sake man! stand for the national anthem and say the pledge of allegiance with the class when you are invited into their world!
