By the time I learned of a school shooting in Florida on Feb. 14, I had already been grieving for about week — for another Florida teenager. I am reading Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, by Trayvon's parents. Feb. 26 marked the five-year anniversary of Trayvon's death. These new murders took up a new murky space in my head, but without displacing the grief I felt as I immersed myself in the story of Trayvon's death and its aftermath.
I, too, have a history of protesting the Pledge of Allegiance. I don't know if schools do this anymore, but in my public school in the early 1990s, right before the morning announcements on the intercom system, someone — frequently a student — would lead the school in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. At some point in high school, I became that student, reciting the pledge aloud before reading the morning announcements to our entire building.
