Flag on the ground at the University Of Iowa...

Photo from The University Of Iowa Do you remember standing everyday and reciting the "Pledge Of Allegiance"? I do. Every classroom had a flag in it. Most classrooms today do not. Probably a cut back or maybe it offended someone. And "The Pledge" is a huge no no. But this Pledge recited everyday help teach us what the flag symbolizes. I remember being taught what each line meant and why it was important. I don't remember any of my children learning the Pledge let alone learning what it meant. So were the folks in Iowa really surprised that the University kids had put a massive flag on the ground? The kid's response to public outrage was "We didn't know". The kids didn't think it was a huge deal. These kids probably don't know the Pledge of Allegiance. They were never taught it.I hope that others think that this is a huge deal. I hope that it becomes such a huge deal that we start teaching again what it means to be an American! Why that flag is such a huge deal! Oh and by the way...The University was preparing for the President's visit. Just sayin....
