Good morning, Attractive Dragon Scholars. Please stand. During the Moment of Silence, remember that September 14th-18th is US Constitution Week. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say, “It’s a free country.” Amendment 1 does NOT include the words “freedom of expression.” Over time it has been ruled to include limits to the freedom of speech/press/assembly for defamation, perjury, contempt of court, hate speech, size of public demonstrations, trade secrets, noise pollution, classified information, and treason. (Moment of Silence) Study the Constitution, know your rights, and know what it says and does not say.

Teachers, please verify that students are in dress Code. And now the pledges.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.

And now the Texas flag. Honor the Texas Flag. I pledge Allegiance to Thee, Texas, One State under God, One and Indivisible.

Please be seated.

Dragons, CREATE, BUILD, CONNECT. Today, S.O.C. handed out ribbons to commemorate Mexican Independence Day.Please wear these as a show of support for our Mexican American students and faculty.
