Seattle Pacific U?????
That one will be gone soon, given that they’ve pretty much demonstrated their (lack of) any standards whatsoever.
No, wait, it’ll be a good school to give degrees in “eddikashun” and “kommunicashun”.

My son goes to SPU. He said that already there has been enough uproar from the students that they WILL be having the flag ceremony and Pledge.
One thing they are still trying to overturn (he’s a Junior) is the new rules on “hazing” which has gone overboard. The various floors have different things to build community. Holding a sock up in the air for an hour while some guy talks, etc. Now banned. I think a bunch of guys got kicked out for still doing it. That was the floor that Paul was on that was killed last year by the gunman. A floor that KNEW community.
My son’s floor had to carry around a bowling ball for a week(?), month(?) everywhere they went as a sign of carrying your brother’s burdens. He was at some breakfast place (with the 8 egg omelete) and some old guy saw the bowling ball, came over and said “Sixth Hill! Let me buy you breakfast!” They had a nice chat.
This PC stuff is getting out of hand.
We should really make them uncomfortable with an end to state funding!!
The Pledge was created by a progressive leftist, and “under God” was only added later. We didn’t have a Pledge until the early 20th century. I personally find it a rather fascist/communist exercise.

We are happy to announce that a solution has been reached with University Ministries. We are thankful for the positive outcome of this issue.
Students will now have the opportunity to say the pledge of allegiance and honor the veterans with the presentation of the colors at a pre-chapel ceremony. The MVSC would like to thank all of the concerned veteran supporters who let their voices be heard. You are all invited to join in on this special moment to present the colors....
Everything about America, its history, its culture, its iconography will invariably make some idiot “uncomfortable,” whether a Muzzie, a feminist, a foreigner, a homo-fascist, an atheist, or whomever. These nuts specifically look for things to be offended by. It’s a neverending ‘power’ game with them.
America’s current ‘pajama-boy’ weakness as a nation and as a society is in great part not because these people live and exist here, but because we constantly surrender and cowtow to them and their ever-more-ludicrous and ever-more-concocted sensitivities. All of Western civilization seems to be merrily marching to suicidal insanity.
It sure is and enough is enough
I am also a Junior. :) Funny old world, isn’t it? Anyways, the “hazing” thing is ridiculous considering the Freshman agreed to the scheme. This school makes me angry sometimes. Part of me wants to transfer to another Christian school, despite the impossibility of it, another part of me wants to paint my body head to toe in red, white, and blue and walk into the chapel next week and sit in the front row.
There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights that guarantees anyone the right to be “comfortable.” If they want to be “comfortable”, they can take their goatsmellin’ asses back to the sewer they crawled out of. THIS IS AMERICA. The freeloaders need to understand that. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY. Not theirs.
I know. I got the email about this before I was aware of the whole situation. The school officials have revealed how cowardly they are and I’m still really upset.
It was never our intent to dishonor our veterans or their service to our country.
Lying pieces of shit.
You had EVERY intention of dishonoring veterans.
After all, the whole damned bunch of you liberal academics have been doing it for years, now.
To hell with you.
It would be interesting to look into the military background of the folks pushing this. My guess would be there would be many third & fourth generation no-shows and a whole slew of folks who have to look back to 1945 to find a veteran in their own family.
From an earlier FB post from yesterday, it sounds like the students taking it up with the media worked!
- Concerned students, along with the MVSC, contacted media outlets on Thursday, once it was clear that any further dialogue with University Ministries would be unreciprocated.
- Several interviews have taken place since the students reached out to the media, and we are hoping to come to a solution that honors our veterans, their sacrifices, and the symbols representing the freedoms for which they fought.
The morons claimed it was a “misunderstanding”.
No, they dishonor the country, not veterans, with this kind of move. Which is ever their intention.
They simply hate America, and THAT is always the focus. If one hates America, how could one possibly pledge to it?
I hate commie libs.

It makes me sick to my stomach. People have contempt for their own country make me sick to my stomach. Even though I’m not German, watching Merkel get rid of the German flag in that video made me angry. Nobody appreciates what people have done to protect their homelands. And for what? So governments and “academic institutions” can dishonor you and throw dirt on your memory.

Typical left-wing lame excuse
