political correctness. it actually seems like an oxymoron, but I believe that it is actually the cancer that could be the death of the greatest nation on earth. how sad. what have we as a nation done to make us collectively feel such blind guilt that we are willing to make these types of concessions?

Given the location, why am I not surprised?

Take "under God" back out. Then no one can claim religious reasons for not saying it.

For a lot of these people it is the whole Pledge that the have a problem with.
They hate the U.S. & they hate the flag. They claim that they are a citizen of the world.

Frickin' liberal college profs. put this crap in their brain.

IF you and she ,the councilwoman, don't want to say, under God, thats your right. But let us who want it alone and plug your ears.

We still live in the greatest nation ever on earth and some still bitch about having it their way. What would Stalin or Hitler do, to have it their way ?

Not many persons or corporations are being tried for espionage anymore, so you have to wonder why there would be a pledge of allegience debate at all. When they found GE parts associated with IED's and other weapons in Iraq(sold during the sanctions and prohibitions against selling to any countries that actively dealt with Iraq), that actually killed our own guys, and Jeffrey Immelt wasn't charged with treason, why bother?

The pledge is not like the Constitution. But this is yet another example of numbskulls tryng to denegrate the spirits of the "Proud to be American" crowd.

 

[Hitman]

Well who should be moved to discomfort?

The one's who want to say it should not be able to,
or
The one's who don't should have to hear it?

I never said I don't want to say "under God", did I? But since you want to jump my ****, are you aware that the pledge didn't contain the phrase "under God" for the first 62 years of it's existence? It was religious groups bitching about wanting it their way that got it changed.

Not trying to be rude Ben. Everyone can't have their way . I believe the article said it was placed in the pledge in 1954 . In fighting gets this country no-where. Sorry thaT OFFENDED YOU.

 

[Hitman]

Incorrect.

Congress passed legislation and Eisenhower signed the bill.

negative. we need to bow up and tell whoever doesn't like it to go back to wherever they came from, and if they were from here they can just pick a place and go. if we start trying to erase God from the history of the U.S., we're going to have to destroy a lot of history in the process. frankly, I don't care what the reason is that you don't want to say it but if you're an elected official doing the business of the country and can't bring yourself to say it, then you may as well be a traitor.

omg... I could care less if my elected official wants to say it or not... i mean, last time I checked we were still in a free (i use the term loosely) country and it's everyone right to say it or not...that's what this country was founded on... liberty! To me they are just executing one of their rights.

Calling someone a traitor for not wanting someone to recite the pledge is ludicrous, and against everything this country was founded on.

If a kid is actually swayed by whatever liberal agendas are pushed his way in college, he doesn't deserve the brain in the first place-- IMHO.

You are however correct about the general trend and themes of the curriculum. It's actually something of a tragic comedy, from a pre-educated student's perspective.

well, aaron, maybe obviously you and I see the pledge entirely differently. I see it almost like an oath, like when one becomes a member of the military or any other time one must "pledge" to be loyal and/or accountable to an entity, or something that stands for or represents that entity, like perhaps a flag. you don't want to say it? fine, but I'd prefer my elected officials to share my beliefs and not only saying the pledge but meaning it and living it would be good for starters. nothing against anyone else's liberty to not say it.

 

[bryan54]

That's what wrong in this country. Americans should be proud of our country. If you don't like it pack your bags and get the hell out.

you know who else rewrote history books to make it "correct"? Joesph Stalin..

Did anyone notice this gem at the end of the article? They're pimping that globalist agenda hard in the schools these days...

Resident Anita Sullivan summed up a common viewpoint: “So you say I pledge allegiance and right there I don’t care for that language,” Sullivan says. “It sort of means loyalty to your country; well, I feel loyalty to the entire world.”
