At my school we were never led in the pledge of allegiance, and we did not have American flags in our classrooms until the middle of last year. From reading other threads I learned that both of these things are required by law. What are your experiences/views on these issues?
Where are you from in MA? I grew up in MA and we always had them.
I'm from Sudbury. I understand that this is a thing that doesn't exactly differ by broad regions, but really from school to school. Every other public school around here that I have seen does have flags, and before high school we did recite the pledge every week.
Doesn't Sudbury go to a regional school? Nevertheless, I'm shocked that Sudbury doesn't have them. I thought you'd say either Amherst or Cambridge.
BTW: I grew up in Medway and I did some vendoring work for Sudbury Farms while in college.
Yes, our high school is called Lincoln-Sudbury Regional HS. I don't know how long ago you lived in the area, but Sudbury is now pretty liberal and solidly Democratic. The high school in particular is thought of as very liberal in its policies and attitudes (as well as the politics of its staff and students).
