    Why do they want to Wait.We started with Pride in the First grade.But the Dumber they are’ the easier it is to pull the wool over their eyes.No prayer,No pledge,No Pride,No respect.And Our Government wants to know what is wrong with young People today? Past & Present law makers should look in the Mirror and see who is Responsible for what is going on Today.

    It’s a great idea and has bi-partisan support from 222 co-sponsors. Where does this bill stand now? It looks like they debated it and agreed to a voice vote…. and then…. ?

    What? I’m afraid you’ll distort these children’s minds into strict mindset, leading them to believe we’re all worth nothing but all the same. No, no way. Children need to learn that THEY can be the best. Why do people come to this country? Because they BELIEVE they can achieve the greatest. Not just the greatest person, but the greatest philanthropist like Andrew Carnegie, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet. In a purely socialist world, these men would be Mao, not Reagan or Lincoln. PTHB!

    Watch your idol wreck our existence within the decade. Trust me, he’s trying his best.

    The Constitution we have lived by for all these years, does not seem Good enough for the 545 we have in Office Today. They have Ignored the Laws. Good time to start an impeachment process.The U.S. Constitution, known as Article II,Section 4.Congress and the Senate are Ignoring the Voices of the People and States Rights.It seems the President does not understand the Constitution, because he is trying to run over the People,Congress & The Senate.!I don’t give a damn who is President, but I expect Him and the other 545 to Abide by The Constitution of the United States of America.They need to Stop trying to make their laws and Enforce the ones we have.

    If we force the Constitution to be taught in schools, it will be taught by teachers who have their own personal interpretations of it. I think this is a horrible idea. Let kids read the Constitution and develop their own opinions. We don’t need any more political brainwashing.
