Excellent list, thanks for posting. May I suggest that e-mails probably get deleted on the spot and cell phone calls either get deleted from the system as soon as some intern determines what the call is about or flushes the voice-mail box, but...

A real letter, sent be snail-mail will get their attention. It has to be opened, if for no other reason than that it may be business related or contain a donation or a host of other things. Somebody will have physically open the letter and read it. It also takes time to handle a large volume of letters. In a business environment, letters sent to the President or CEO of a company will occupy an executive secretary. A pile of letters will get their attention real fast.

I thought this was a conservative area.

Parents, go to the meetings, stand and say the pledge out loud and force them to throw you out..then then next one stands and the next and the next. Screw these people oppose them, peacefully if possible, but oppose them.

Some years ago there was discussion about removing the words “under God” from the pledge.

I went to a youth retreat (I was one of the adults) and the kids the first night began to recite the Pledge. When they got to the “Under God” part they screamed the words at the top of the lungs.

I was so proud of them.

This is misleading. The vote they took had nothing to do with the kids in class. In a 7-2 vote the school board moved to not recite the pledge before their meetings. This means nothing to their job of preparing the students to learn. Personally, I could care less if they wish to recite it or not. That is their business and effects no one but themselves.

" Holden says the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t align with the school district’s diversity, equity and inclusion values." American values don't align with Marxist values of "diversity, equity and inclusion." These three elements are the basis for Critical Race Theory. If you dissect what these terms really mean, you would know they came out of the Marxist handbook.

Take for instance, diversity. For them diversity is replacing science, logic, and debate by excluding anyone who dissents from the party ideology--Marxism. Without free scientific debate, you undermine reason, research, and progress.

To promote diversity, people are selected, not because of their merit or potential, but because of their ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and/or race. In other words, underperforming, weak people are hired, and rewarded because their sexuality, race, and gender rather than their performance or ability. That undermines innovation and progress in how a society does things to solve problems.

Admitting one’s mistakes is usually a healthy thing to do, but self-loathing is never good and never leads to anything constructive.

Frankly, after this week, I am not comfortable saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Not for the reasons the DEI freakos claim however.

The currently installed government would, without a hesitation, throw any of us here on FR in a gulag and not think twice. You pledge allegiance to that?

I pledge allegiance to the memory of this once great country. But I certainly pledge no allegiance to the current management of this country. And I think saying the pledge offers legitimacy of what is currently going down.

Guess what Holden? Equity does not align with American values. Equality yes, equity no. Kiss my ass, you putz.

We have clueless people "educating" our children.
