Schools do the flag salute each morning because we honor the flag and the independence. In my opinion I think that uprising for the flag is a great idea and that we should do that I also think that's very nice. I think that the flag salute means to like salute people be there and think of them as good and also freedom.

I Guess the Pledge of Allegiance is a good thing. They make students do the Flag Salute every morning to reinforce the ideals of this nation. Well the words mean that we are a republic, that is under the dominion of the lord, That cannot be divided, and everyones civil liberties are protected.

We do the flag salute not because we are forced but its cause we love are flag and what its stands for so thats why we do it. In 1940 the Supreme Court, in Minersville School District v. Gobitis, ruled that students in public schools, including the respondents in that case, Jehovah's Witnesses who considered the flag salute to be idolatry, could be compelled to swear the Pledge. I don't really like doing it in the morning because I'm lazy to get up but i love are flag.

"The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of loyalty to the federal flag and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942." That pretty much says it all.

I don't know why schools do the flag salute every morning.I think it's a good idea because this way we can all practice and proudly salute to the flag.The words that we say during the flag salute are meaning that we respect,honor,and support our flag and country.The words that we speak during the flag solute is also a way of showing respect for all this country has gone through and shows that we are proud to live in the U.S.A..

Honestly i dont know why they do it. The words stand for the declaration of independence and whats written in it all the liberty things and god. I dont think we should do it every morning because theirs other people that dont sing it because their not american. Other people like to sing it because they like to remind themselves freedom and right.

The flag salute is a good idea because there are some kids or teans who get to class all sleepy and to stand and say words that matter to this country wakes them up. The the U.S. salute's words mean to pray to god to ceep the united states and to ceep them united. Margarette S. Miller’s was the one who invented the 26 words of the flag solute.

A pledge is a promise or statement of dedication. An allegiance has to do with an oath; Pledge of Allegiance means that a person will support and be faithful to the United States of America which stands for liberty and justice for all. I feel like it is a good idea in a way because it is good to show loyalty to the United States of America. For some people this might be a not so good idea because if someone isn't from the United States of America then they don't feel like they should do the Pledge of Allegiance since its not their country and only show loyalty and faithfulness to their own country.
