Donald Trump stressed his push for increased patriotism in a speech to the American Legion this morning.
Specifically, he said that a shared goal of the Trump administration and the American Legion, a veterans' association, is "promoting American pride and patriotism in America’s schools."
"We want young Americans to recite the pledge of allegiance," Trump said.
"We will stop apologizing for America, and we will start celebrating America. We will be united by our common culture, values and principles -- becoming one American nation. One country, under one constitution, saluting one American flag. And always saluting it," he said.
This morning's speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, comes hours after Trump gave a long-awaited address on immigration in Arizona.
He reiterated several of his immigration proposals during this morning's speech, including greater screening for immigrants, a ban on accepting Syrian refugees and a stronger border defense.

Nice try.
so, the word God DID come out of Trump’s mouth at this American Legion speech? Besides the “Thank you, and God bless” at the end of his speech ?
Didn’t think so.
Funny how the media never mentioned how loathing of the United States is currently being pushed in schools.

AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE DO THE SAME
America is screwed because "they" have had our kids seven hours a day, five days a week for 10 months of every year, for 12 years ! ! !
Another Cuzbot left on the battlefield.
Nice straw man.
It doesn’t work.
Bravo!
It’s amazing what you will find out after you think you know everything.
FYI
I was brought up under Truman and DDE tenures. Then JFK. The trouble is most of these teachers were taught under lib
policies.

Thanks.
Man did folks read this guy wrong.
Speaking of propaganda why is the ADL posting NO PLACE FOR HATE in every public school foyer.
Why is foreign agent Qatar permitted access to our young kids to teach Arabic Language culture after cutting a check to the district?
Any picture of the crowd. HILLARY said no one was going to show up for DONALD TRUMP’S American Legion event. (She spoke to a sparse crowd)
Keep em coming Donny
I am Trump! He is my Brother......
Boy I am starting to consider myself lucky for moving to the school district I am in.
My kids stood and recited the pledge every morning, some lucky student was selected each morning to read it over the PA, the school music department had a CHRISTMAS show inside a local church AND they sang religious songs. The music teacher was outstanding and threatened to quit if they EVER told him what songs he could do.
Thanks for the reminder LS, I have plenty of nieces and nephews who rate a Christmas present .. and your book would be a great choice.
Regards,
Good old days.
Along with the pledge and My country Tis of Thee, we had the hymn on assembly days in the auditorium that went;
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing,
Help us to praise.
Father, all glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.
(Only one verse was used.)
When ever they used a bible quote, it was yay do I walk through the valley of death I fear no evil....... (Not the evil SOB version)
I was in a Public high school that was about 80% Jewish and no one complained or was offended by a Methodist hymn or Christian prayer. How totally sensitive we’ve become, the 50’s kids had tough skin compared to today.
