You are all dead wrong in your criticism of her refusal to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. For very good reasons I have given in FreeRepublic previously, every true Patriot of America ought to refuse or respect others who refusee to with a tool for totalitarianism created by and for socialists using it as a tool of social indoctrination and authoritarian rule. You all owe this young lady an apology for not making the effort to get past the prejudice and attempting to understand the nature of the conflict.

I wonder what color;

"The ACLU of Maryland says this is not the first time a case of alleged harassment has happened within Montgomery County Public Schools over not reciting the pledge. The group is requesting a meeting with school officials and an apology to be made to Siurano and her family."

and how large a package said "apology" will be ?

Look here, filthy commies came up with the phrase 'and his running dog lackeys' yet it is so applicable to leftwingtards and their evil spawn that I just can't help using it.

Same with the pledge ~ the designer may have been nasty, but he accidentally came up with something we can rub in the left's face ~ then, grind them under our boots!

[DarkSavant]

Amen. I just wish the ACLU was consistent with who they defend.

I never said the Pledge of Allegiance that I remember; we said prayers to God at my private school.

Pledging "allegiance" to the "Republic," at least in its current iteration, is not something I am willing to do.

That's interesting. But if that's the case, it apparently didn't work as intended. Most of the patriots who quote the Constitution today grew up happily reciting the Pledge, and the socialists, liberty-haters, and 0bama cultists are the ones (by and large) who refuse to say it or stand for it.

Looks like the socialists' karma ran over their dogma.
