I Think Even Patriotism Should Have Limits

So, after the morning announcements at school, I was walking down the hall. The person doing the announcements asked everyone to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Through the closed doors of the classrooms, I hear the muffled sounds of children doing the Pledge.

Then, all of a sudden I hear the Pledge in all of it's glory. It is majestic. It is echoing. It is coming from the boy's bathroom. And I hear one boy say to the other: "Stand! We are doing the Pledge of Allegiance!"

I have never met the Founding Fathers. But, I am guessing that even they would understand that there are just some instances where it is simply better not to stand.
