Promise World Academy treated questions as part of Christian learning until one question tested the pledge itself.
Human Resources collected Mrs. Price's keys, laptop, grade book, and access card. The blue box belonged to her. She took it home.
Transcribed record
Why do people die?
Can someone be good without believing what we believe?
Why does God let children get sick?
Why do adults say money does not matter when they argue about it all the time?
What happens if my purpose tells me not to say the pledge?
Mrs. Price asked what happened when two leaders claimed different purposes. The school supplied a mission statement. The foundation supplied six pages about shared purpose and alignment. Neither defined what she was promising not to oppose.
The substitute led the pledge without difficulty. The crackers disappeared. One child stopped volunteering to read. Another developed stomachaches before school.
