In globalization we started to talk about religion, I feel
as if this is can be a touchy subject for many situations. I was raised as a Christian
but I enjoy learning about other religions. It is crazy how people can get offended
from talking about religion. They put “under god” in the pledge of allegiance
it wasn’t as big of a controversy like it is today. I remember when I was in
about 3rd grade we would say the pledge of allegiance every day and
one kid would not have to stand up because it said god in it. This kids parent
told the school that he would not be participating. I feel as if this was not
right in my opinion. People should not have the right to not stand up for the
country they live in. There are strong men and women who serve this for this
countries freedom and to not stand up for something as simple as the pledge
allegiance because of the word god seems a little wrong. For us to live in a
world were church and state coexist we should have them work together. Churches
do amazing things for the community and I believe everyone should take that
into consideration for when there is times in need. Yes I respect other peoples
religions and how they live there life but I would not make my child have the
feeling of being singled out in a classroom but because of a word.
I posted a video of a controversy about the allegiance to
show how some schools handle this. This helped me understand a little bit
better about what goes on in schools now a days. I believe that there is a life
lesson that is learned in every kid when they began to learn the pledge of
allegiance.
