I can report there was a fleeting skirmish at our school when a teacher posted a sign on the office window that read "Bless America". The parents objected to the irrational ommission of of the subject, God, and the school district relented on the (erroneous and nonsensical) basis that it was a form of patriotic not religious expression, therefore it would be "God Bless America" after all. Of course, the local paper's unusual interest in this story helped move it more quickly to the desired result.

Since then we have had school-wide simultaneous recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance every morning over the public address system, a patriotic assembly in which my daughter marched on stage with her friends and belted out George M. Cohans "Your a Grand Old Flag", and a beautiful Veterans Day tribute by the children to our veterans, twenty of which sat on the stage in their service uniforms. It was awesome and I could only think that this love for our country was always burning in the heart but it had been censored from school life until now.

We have the NEA commies on the run and they are squirming like Hillary in church.

Just remember there running behind the Flag. Using it to keep the light of truth from shining on them. And will go back to there old ways when they think we’ve turned the light off. we need to keep them running right out of power.

All:

It’s good to read all the replies here. Makes you feel there’s hope. But it sounds like those that responded are from the Red W Backbone of the country. Any from the Blue gore zone ?
