Times Picks Up on Pledge Stance at JSIS
(Update: It is with great sorrow that I pass on the news of the sudden death of Senator Scott White who was found dead in a hotel room while attending a leadership conference. There was no evidence of foul play and an autopsy will be performed to find the cause of death. Senator White, who had two small children, was a Seattle legislator - Laurelhurst, Northgate, Broadview, Wedgwood, Lake City and Greenwood - who cared deeply about public education. It is a loss to Seattle.)
The Seattle Times has come out with a story about the brouhaha at JSIS over the pledge of allegiance. The Times does not cover the issue the way we first head it with some parents believing that it is wrong to make undocumented students to recite the pledge. The Times covers the story as JSIS being a global school and that it is nationalistic to recite the pledge and so hurts the goals of the school.
It seems that many parents understand that any child can opt out and as long as that option is available, why is
