The wrestling match over the Pledge of Allegiance at Fargo School Board meetings has reached a resolution. In a 7-2 vote on Tuesday, the school board moved to not recite the pledge before their meetings.
The debate goes back to February when a motion to have the Pledge recited at meetings, brought forward by board member David Paulson, died for a lack of a motion for a second. The matter worked its way back to a March board meeting, where it passed. The Pledge has been recited at the start of each board meeting since April 12.
Board Vice President Seth Holden then requested that the issue be discussed again at the board meeting on August 9, saying he wanted to rescind the March decision after hearing comments from board members and the public. Holden says the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t align with the school district’s diversity, equity and inclusion values.

Let me guess, they don’t open with a prayer either.
Which two voted no? Recall the rest
Put the 7 through re-election, wood chipper hell.
Let the two recite the Pledge every meeting, and have it filmed.
Five of them are perverted sickos who need to be recalled but the Dakota citizens are pussys..
The miserable “diversity code” can go to hell in a handbasket.
OK..it is not that hard to run for a school board. So the folks up there should be lining up to run.
Wow I just looked up the first two names on that list. All I can say is the voters of Fargo must be brain dead.
Uff da! This is not good.
Do they sing the internationale or horst wessel lied instead?
School boards going way outside their job description in places they have no right to go
Do you honestly want educators who push CRT to lead your child in some religious manner? Do you want an atheist teacher to do that? If you are Southern Baptist, do want a Mormon to tackle the job?
People who want prayer in school are terribly misguided.
Melissa Burkland: ...
In 2017, we moved back to Fargo when I started my dream job as an Assistant United States Attorney in Fargo’s United States Attorney’s Office.
Bruce Reinhart: ... he left the South Florida US Attorney’s Office with effect on January 1, 2008, and the next day started working for Epstein’s cohorts.
The employees he represented were Epstein’s scheduler, pilots, and Nadia Marcinkova, a lady he referred to as his “Yugoslavian sexual slave.”
He worked as a Trial Attorney for the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice from 1988 to 1996. However, he got the opportunity through the Attorney General’s Honors Program.
He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in West Palm Beach from 1996 to 2008.
Where do we get these winners in the Feral Assistant District Attorney.
...with liberty and justice for all .
They may change this when the Third World War starts and America starts to lose big. When backs are too the wall and the enemy is at the gates, people start to realize how patriotic they are. Funny how that operates.
Unfortunately, while North Dakota is a mid-American state, it does have a history of leaning socialist.
“Board member Seth Golden said that because “the word ‘God’ in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized … the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian god and therefore, it does not include any other faith such as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, all of which are practiced by our staff and students.””
I’ll bet the same people who opposed the capital letter “G” in God are perfectly fine with capitalizing the letter “B” in newspaper articles written about black people.
Well, considering that we no longer have equal “liberty and justice for all...”
...I’ll pledge to this Republic as “one nation, under God”.
Period.
Uea...remember aftet 9-11? Gonna take that kind of incident to wake people up
