You know, a true patriot would demand that they play the anthem throughout the entire game.

Or better yet, make the students sing the song constantly as they play the games.

I’m announcing The Star-Spangled Banner Act that will require each public school to play The Star-Spangled Banner at the start of school-sanctioned sporting events.

I’m announcing the Moment of Silence Act. It changes AR law requiring a moment of silence in Arkansas schools to also mandate a moment of silence after the Pledge of Allegiance during the start of the school day.

1. And for Coloradans, she offers prayers. No thoughts, just prayers. Lauren Boebert, too.

I am heartbroken over the senseless act of violence in Colorado today. Please join me in praying for the all the victims, including Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley.

My prayers are with the shoppers, employees, first responders & others affected by the shooting in Boulder.

May God be with them.

While we are still awaiting important information and details in this case, random public shootings & senseless acts of violence are never ok.

5. What..no "loyalty oath"....like Catch 22????

“The important thing is to keep them pledging,' he explained to his cohorts. 'It doesn't matter whether they mean it or not. That's why they make little kids pledge allegiance even before they know what "pledge" and "allegiance" mean.' To Captain Piltchard and Captain Wren, the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was a glorious pain in the ass, since it complicated their task of organizing the crews for each combat mission. Men were tied up all over the squadron signing, pledging and singing, and the missions took hours longer to get under way. Effective emergency action became impossible, but Captain Piltchard and Captain Wren were both too timid to raise any outcry against Captain Black, who scrupulously enforced each day the doctrine of 'Continual Reaffirmation' that he had originated, a doctrine designed to
trap all those men who had become disloyal since the last time they had signed a loyalty oath the day before. It was Captain Black who came with advice to Captain Piltchard and Captain Wren as they pitched about in their bewildering predicament. He came with a delegation and advised them bluntly to make each man sign a loyalty oath before allowing him to fly on a combat mission.”

6. We never had the anthem for a lot of our games when I was a kid in the 70's.

None at 7th and 8th grade games of any kind that I remember. I don't think at any baseball games all the way through school. Seems like always for football games from 9th grade on. I think the pep band played it for boys varsity basketball games, but not the JV or girls game before. Seems kind of ridiculous to make it before every game that goes on.

7. Students should recite the Pledge of Allegiance before every statement they make!

I pledge allegiance ... for all. The homework ate my dog

I pledge allegiance ... for all. This is the giant roach I found in the cafeteria

I pledge allegiance ... for all. For my book report, I read the Story of O

10. Don't know many folks who read

The Story of O.

One of the finer works of literature!

Why is the Attorney General of Arkansas announcing legislation?
