1: I did not recite the pledge of alliegence after first grade. It was no longer a requirement in Indiana after 1972. 2: My Civics courses in school seemed to spend a great deal of time exploring the limits and faults of the US government and economy. It also spent a lot of time exploring the limits and faults of other governments and economies. Perhaps the Indiana state board was Churchillian in its politics...
