Notice how the mayor has distanced herself from the board, but you can tell she personally agrees with the initial action they took because she immediately offers up an excuse ("this policy is the Board of Education's attempt to respond to the new state requirement"). At the same time, she finds it necessary to tell the board how to do their job ("Bauman said a better approach would be to let individual schools set policies...").

Somebody needs to get these jokers in line.

Sorry, the title I chose is misleading. It should read, "Mayor Disagrees with Pledge of Allegiance POLICY." My bad. Not in proofreading mode yet today.

From what little I have read, Madison seems to be a little knot of lefties in a state that lists to port anyway. In the land of the free I am not sure what to do about government employees who refuse to pledge allegiance to their country.

An update: Heard on the news this morning that the Madison school board received over 16,000 e-mails on this subject, the vast majority being critical of their action. Also, Jim Doyle, the Wisconsin Attorney General (a democrat and a leading candidate for governor), went on Mark Belling's talk show yesterday condemning the actions of the board.
