Actually the Pledge of Allegiance was written without the words “under God”. God was inserted into the pledge.
You can easily tell because it throws off the cadence. The Knights of Columbus led the charge to have “under God” added to the Pledge of Allegiance.
That makes me laugh.
I harken back to watching my oldest son through his kindegarten and gradeschool years. Up on stage, "forced" to sing all of the songs for whatever performance.
Despite my wife's admonitions - I don't think he ever moved his lips once.
Just stood on stage with his hands in his pockets - refusing to sing
Point is - I think kids already "sing" or "don't sing" what they want.
The real question is why the need to remove the word God.
Pretty telling.
Hmmmm - sounds like somebody got their hindquarters singed just a bit.
4- The school is based in America.
BRAVO!
Republicans trundle their kids off to government schools, secondarys and on to universities and have the temerity to wonder what the hell is wrong with our country.
It will NEVER stop. It will keep coming. We have ceded God and country to the public schools, to John Locke, and the whole cabal of godless who now cooperate with the take down of our country.
We teach what we tolerate.
We need that teacher’s name and serial number. :)
Stop the madness.
Great idea, TCM.
Treat them like child predators. Map it up.
Past time to play hardball and get defiant. They have been handing it to us for decades, free of charge.
Time for the same accountability, responsibility and consequences that they preach to these kids. IMHO.
The Pledge of Allegiance is said daily in our classrooms, so, personally, I see no reason to have changed the lyrics of the song.
Gray said she "does not know why the lyrics were changed in the first place.
In other words -
~We got caught.~
In other, other words - it was Gray's idea.
The school board changed their mind and weren’t going to have any songs played.
The school board then changed it’s mind again and will go back to songs with the correct wording.
Bizarre people.
Well, it does fit better in the Gettysburg address,from which it was taken. When the atheists get in power they will cover over both speeches in Lincolns little house, it and the 2nd Inaugural.
There is no institution more political than the public schools. How many people know this, that the reigning philosophy in those schools is John Deweys instrumentalism, which eschews all absolutes.
Bullsh*t. You communists got caught, and that is the ONLY thing you are sorry about. America has your number, Massachusetts.
Even worse; we have been PAYING for it via back-breaking, confiscatory-level property taxes.
Amen.
Bizzaro is right! Bizzaro mind benders for the most part.
The kids are seeing this confusion, and we know who the author of confusion is, actually. He has a name.
