Welcome to the first issue of Herd in the Halls Volume 3! Herd in the Halls is a project that interviews students during lunches with a question of the week. If you were interviewed or want to see what your peers are saying, this is the place to be!

Question of the Week: Why do or don’t you stand for the pledge of allegiance?

“I stand for the pledge of allegiance because it’s respectful, but I think it’s a little weird to say the pledge out loud every morning, so I don’t say it.”

“I do stand for the pledge of allegiance out of respect for the people who fought for our country. It’s not about current politics, but about respect for veterans, founding fathers and so on.”

“I do because my grandfather was in the military and supported our country.”

“Peer pressure- I do it because others do, and sometimes I don’t because others don’t.”

“Government stances.”

“I stand for the pledge of allegiance because I’m patriotic. Heck yeah.”

“I do because I was taught– it’s what you’re supposed to do and I continued on with it.”

“I do, I don’t want to be the only one not doing it.”

“I stand for the pledge because I am in the SRTC law enforcement program and we have to.”

“I do because I don’t know.”

“I do because I respect the country and the people who fought for it.”
