Okay, so I had a few good laughs while reading this.

* = The Pledge of Allegiance should always be optional in any school. You cannot force a student to say anything. It's an intrusion on the individual right of a student to say it.

** = Yes it is, but it should not be mandated that it must be said. I am not a believer in God, but I say the Pledge of Allegiance every single morning. Instead of "one nation, under God" I say "one nation, under Canada" because, while I personally feel it necessary for me to say it, I do not feel it necessary to pledge my allegiance to any God.

*** = Some families feel uncomfortable teaching their young about sex, therefore, the schools should be able to teach it. However, parents should be allowed to teach their kids about sex. I didn't learn about sex from my parents nor my school, I learned from my older friends and the internet.

**** = See above.

***** = Religion does NOT belong in school. Period. It leads to shoving one particular religion down the throats of America's youth. Not all kids are of the same religion.

****** = Child labor, plain and simple. Allow kids to get out-of-school jobs, but not in-school. I'm 15 and I still can't find a job.

******* = As a student, I disagree with this 100%. There's still in-school violence, so it doesn't matter when school gets out. Kids are still going to be violent towards each other, unfortunately.

******** = This is one of the more senseless and ignorant things I've ever heard anywhere ever. I shouldn't have to explain why that is.

********* = What?

I never said we should let teens decide education policy, so don't put words in my mouth. I said we should let teens decide if they want to say the damn pledge of allegiance and if they want to say "under God."

I never said I wasn't willing to accept responsibility either, but I have no interest in being a damn janitor. I'd much rather be a cashier at Rita's Water Ice or some sh*t to get money. I don't want to work at my school. It would be like a Jew working as a janitor at Auschwitz. No way.

When teens pay the school taxes they may be allowed to have a say so. Right because 15 year olds are so over qualified to be janitors. You should be a doctor right now. I hate to break your teenage fantasy world but everyone starts at smaller jobs that don't pay much and aren't fun. From there, you have a chance to earn your way up by doing well in college or being promoted from such positions. I know someone your age isn't interested in hard labor but it will build character. Then you will look back on it and be proud of how far you've come. No one is forcing you to be a janitor either. I'm sure there are plenty of other children who would love the opportunity to make money. I never said you were forced but you're putting words in my mouth. You aren't alone though either. Most people, myself included wouldn't prefer to be a janitor or have fun with it.

So because kids don't pay taxes, they don't have rights? So someone could murder me and it won't matter because I'm not technically a citizen? Bullsh*t. Get over yourself. Kids are just as much entitled to Constitutional rights as anyone. No sh*t most jobs start on the lower level, but I'm saying I wouldn't want to be a janitor at my school. It's not that I hate the idea of having a job, but I'd much rather be a busboy at some restaurant or something.
