When I was looking for a dojo to join, I found one that had a rule that concerned me. The dojo required students to bow to the flag upon entering and leaving the school.
This was one of the reasons why I did not join...my faith speaks strongly against the worship of idols, and as much as I deeply respect Old Glory, I can't bow to her.
How common is a rule like this? Is it found in other dojos?
