This is their pledge to the BLACK flag, not American flag, but BLACK flag, said by children of one Oklahoma City innercity school district, the Millwood School District.
Think I am kidding? Here is their webpage: http://www.millwood.k12.ok.us/MPS%20Students.htm
Notice it calls for honor to the Black flag, not the US flag. It also calls for separation of Black people onto their own land, given to them by the US. In addition, it calls for students to have Black love, Black freedom, and Black determination. Quite different from "... liberty and justice for ALL."
Your tax dollars are paying for this!!!! No wonder so many innercity kids can't read or write when this is what our educational dollars are being spent on!
The architect of this idea must be a "loose nut" and should douse another "six pack." Definitely sounds like a "nervous breakdown."
The Jesse Jacksons are in no sense the reason for this stirring. Jackson represents a very defininte anti-Caucasian, anti-American mindset. He wants to blame traditional America, and particularly its Caucasian mainstream, for all the woes, not only of the Negro, but of every other definable group, that can be induced to feel that it has a grievance, including any Whites foolish enough to identify with the "Rainbow Coalition."
Nor should those who are merely seeking a positive sense of whom they are, be damned because of some of the militant groups who advocate a form of race war. Those people are a distinct class to themselves.
Genuine, patriotic, American Conservative thinkers who happen to be Negro, should not be lumped either to one of the identity groups, or to the whining socialist panderers around Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Men such as Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are speaking out as genuine thinkers, as exponents of sound thoughts, with a broader--though more tightly defined--agenda, than any of the other groups.
My point is that it is as major a mistake to lump all Negroes into one interest group, as it would be to lump all Caucasians or all Indians into one interest group. Race is important, but it does not determine virtue. All of us have a certain amount of free will, and that means a lack of uniformity; and we should not be insensitive to the struggle of any people for virtue. (This does not mean that we should continue the insane multi-cultural immigration policy. It is one thing to recognize rights to diversity in a distinct people who have been here four hundred years; quite another to invite unnecessary confusion of purpose.)

Bank on it...G-d help us.
Plain old newsies news nose and luck.
Had FR discussion about South Carolina NAACP clown the other day. Met him once at a meeting I was covering. Group recited the pledge to the Black flag and sang Black National Anthum.
Somebody on FR said no such ting existed..... so a little Google search.... and Bingo.
I know that area of OKC, made a few phone calls, got really brassed off, and posted it to FR, because I knew it would get some legs here.
Looks like it's going national!
Way to go FR!
I hope all who see this will make noise to at least one media outlet.
