It seems lately there is no end to the stories highlighting what appears to be an all-out attack on Americanism.
A
school district in Sioux Falls, SD has decided that the Pledge of
Allegiance is more of a bother than its worth. The school board voted
5-0 to stop the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in high school
because they can’t find the 15 seconds to do it. One of the board
members told the news source that in high school there is very little
time in the mornings or afternoon to pull it off. Can you say LIAR?!
These
people need to be recalled. Let’s say, for argument’s sake, it takes 2
minutes start to finish, from the kids getting on their feet, to saying
it, and then sitting back down. Two minutes. Do 2 minutes less of
morning news. Cut the lunch period by 2 minutes. Cut sex education by 2
minutes. How about we just shut down the school all together, then we
have all day to do it?
Do
these administrators and educators understand that what the pledge
stands for and what the flag stands for is what gives them the right to
be idiots? The freedoms these things represent include people dying for them in other countries!
Then
these yo-hos go on to say that the pledge will have more meaning if we
only do it once in a while. Really? How does that work? You mean I’ll
understand something and learn it better if I’m not as exposed to it and
don’t do it as often?
