I am glad that the law is currently an unenforceable code; so children asserting their first amendment right can choose not to super conform into groupthink formations. I find that both salutes too closely resemble church and boot camp. Patriotic indoctrination scares me, even though I'd say it is necessary.

Good find Bruce.
