I saw a post on Facebook suggesting women start taking a knee during National Anthem

Just spreading the idea for discussion and awareness.

1. Every person with a conscience should do that.

2. Women should strike and boycott. Show our voice and our pocketbook!

RESIST!

8. Agree. nt

3. No, I don't think it is a good idea

to appropriate a form of protest directed to another serious problem in this country suffered by a minority.

4. Are you aware that many people have refused to participate in

the pledge or the national anthem for far longer than football players have been taking a knee?

That refusal to participate can take many forms (including taking a knee, remaining sitting, walking out, or standing but refusing to vocally participate.)

Personally, I have not participated in either for at least 5 decades - so if there's appropriation going on . . .

5. I agree. We need to do something else so we don't take the limelight off of their message. nt

6. Maybe we could set a time where all women everywhere hold hands for a minute. Silently.

Stop whatever they are doing and find another woman or as many women as possible.

7. I think something like this is a good idea. nt
