DO THEY STILL TEACH PATRIOTIC SONGS TO KIDS?
I just wanted to comment on the first question. I am a Kindergarten teacher and yes I do teach patriotic songs! In Sept/Oct we learn, "You're a Grand Old Flag". In Nov/Dec we learn "America". In Jan/Feb we learn, "The Star-Spangled Banner." (And yes, you can teach a 5 year old that song. They sing it loud and proud!) In March we learn, "The Alaska Flag Song" and in Apr/May we learn, "God Bless America." We sing most of these songs to the parents at our Celebration of Kindergarten in May. You can't lump all teachers together and wonder if "they" still teach these songs. It all depends on the teacher.
PS We start each day with the entire school saying the Pledge of Allegiance. If they don't want to participate, they must at least stand.
