Under the PATRIOTS Act, she may be violating the law as she is advocating the overthrow of the United States government. She has students pledge a black nation. She has them sing their Black nationalist national song, and she advocates the desctruction of the "white" society. As such, she is a terrorist, by law.

I see this story has gotten some exposure. I saw the piece on NEWSOK.COM by Randy Ellis. I read that Ms.Griffin has no idea where the pledge or the flag came from or what it means. I think that the pledge speaks for it's self "Our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle and to the land we must obtain. One nation of Black people". The Flag, it's pledge and the Negro National Anthem are all part of a African Nationalist Movement. - HERE

Did she read the pledge..

How about this!

We pledge allegiance of the red, white and blue
Our flag, the symbol of our eternal struggle
and to the land we must obtain.
One nation of White people,
with one God for us all,
Totally united in the struggle for White Love,
White Freedom, and White determination.

Would this version be a problem on their website? What about a School with 99% White kids? Then it would be ok? Racism is racism no matter the color.

Boston Globe Story

On schools, many blacks return to roots

By Wil Haygood, Globe Staff, 11/16/97

DETROIT - In learning their ABCs and in studying about geography, faraway flood plains, and the saints and sinners of history, students at the Aisha Shule-W.E.B. DuBois Preparatory Academy on the gritty northwest side of this city march to a different drummer.

Actually, the drums are African, and they're being slapped furiously just now to bring a school morning to order. The beats are accompanied by both African chants and English verse:

''We will live as models to provide new direction for our people.'' It sounds like a moral crusade. ''We will be free and self-determining.'' The strong voices lift the tiny voices up. ''We are an African people.''

They are standing in the center of the one-floor school and reciting one of their daily self-empowering messages as morning dark lifts from the windows. ''Together, we will win.''

In one of the more striking phenomenons in US education, African-centered secondary schools - also called Afrocentric schools - are experiencing stunning growth, testing America's idea of integrated schooling and catching some officials and educators by surprise.

According to Molefi Asante, who is chairman of the African-American Studies Program at Temple University and has trained many of the educators involved in the movement, there are about 400 African-centered schools in the United States. In the past five years alone, he says, the schools have grown by 30 percent.

Quotes from body of article:

"Nowhere have the black schools taken hold as strongly as here in Detroit, where 12 of the public schools are now African-centered..."

"When the school day nears an end, there is a rustle of books, then the recitation of the end-of-day anthem: ''We pledge to think black, act black, buy black, pray black, love black and live black. We pledge to do black things today to assure us of a black tomorrow.''..."

Would it be ok for the kids in my local school to end the day with ''We pledge to think WHITE, act white, buy white, pray white, love white and live white. We pledge to do white things today to assure us of a white tomorrow.''..."

No wonder we have a race issue in this country. Nobody want to tell the truth. Until we deal with the WHOLE issue (including Black racism) we will never solve anything. Nobody would stand for a School to say or sponsor these things if they were using the word White. Equality, right.
