    Arizona Republicans want to force students to swear oaths

    These tax and spend, big government conservatives are out of control!

    http://www.azcentral.com/news/politi...s-schools.html

    All public high-school seniors would have to recite an oath supporting the U.S. Constitution to be able to graduate, under a proposal in House Bill 2467 sponsored by Rep. Bob Thorpe, R-Flagstaff.

    And all students in first through 12th grades would have to say the pledge of allegiance each day if House Bill 2284, sponsored by Rep. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, passes.
    Both oaths mention God, btw.

    I'm a moderate Republican, and the tea bag party seriously pisses me off.

    Arizona sucks.

    It has pretty much become a police state and this is another form of it.

    Stuff like this is an embarrassment to the Republican Party.

    I went to a private school through eight grade. Every day we had to say the pledge of allegiance and a pledge to the cross. I forget the latter pledge, I just know it started with "I pledge allegiance to the cross..."
    TRUMP 2024!

    No. Stuff like this IS the Republican Party in 2013.

    John Boehner is the de facto head of the party. Yesterday he said-

    “For the new Congress, that means bringing together a bipartisan pro-life majority and getting to work,” Boehner said. “In accordance with the will of the people"...“Let that be one of our most fundamental goals this year.”

    http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/...amental-goals/

    First off, the "will of the people" already happened. A significant majority of American are happy with the current situation on abortion.

    Druff,
    The Republican Party will happily take your votes. But they have made it crystal clear that they have embraced the evangelicals and tea partiers over people like you.

    Then they will keep failing until they finally come to their senses and go back to a platform that appeals enough to the masses.

    I have resigned myself to the fact that the party might flounder for 10 or so more years until this happens.

    I still can't bring myself to vote Democrat because there are too many fundamental issues Democrats support that I strongly disagree with. I also don't want to waste my vote on third parties that have zero chance of winning (or ever rising to prominence).

    I'd say you're getting back at them pretty effectively by gambling for a living

    I grew up in Greeley CO and was the only white kid in my class. We had to say the pledge of allegiance every morning in Spanish.

    Who cares?

    The distinction here is that you weren't required to participate. Jehova's witnesses and such could just stay seated without punishment.

    Meh, does the constitution really apply to kids? Do you think they should be able to exercise 2nd amendment rights as well?

    It does, just less. But aren't most people adults by the time they graduate high school?
