"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
in dupree the pledge was recited over the intercom, but students were not required to say it or stand. my first year in bullhead city, we were all expected to stand and say the pledge. our principal my first year was one of those ex-military guys who takes "patriotism" too seriously. not being much of a patriot in the conservative sense of the term, i often did not say it. "not legally required" means just that. disappointment may follow an unreasonable expectation.
