Evidentally, you don't need to know the pledge of allegiance at all (or at least didn't a number of years ago). I always assumed you did need to know it, but my sister in law was recently saying how her students were making fun of her because she doesn't know it. I asked her how she got past her citizenship exam without knowing it, and she told me it wasn't required material and she was never asked to say it from memory. So now my family AND her students make fun of her :-) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> w + p = -� ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
