On Oct. 7, Alliance High School principal Pat Jones told students they wouldn't be reciting the pledge that day, pointing out that the federal government had been partially shut down since Oct. 1. Scottsbluff television station KDUH reported that some students were outraged by Jones' decision, and one woman said her son stood up in class and recited the pledge anyway.

I can remember a time not so long ago that it was unheard of not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Any teacher or principal who doesn’t lead the Pledge has no business educating our young.

This is a part of the liberal delusion that rarely gets mentioned. They equate the government with the country. They believe the two are one and the same.
To them I declare: It is possible to love your country and hate your government. I am proof of that.

But since when can a school prohibit a child from reciting the pledge if he/she wants to?

As an aside, isn’t KDUH just about the funniest call letters in the country?

The parents should shut the damn school down until High School principal Pat Jones is fired or resigns.
Apologies should ever be accepted for such treason.
