No pledge

One thing that threatens the core value of America is the removal of the pledge of allegiance from our schools. We have already removed 'under God' because of a ridiculous seperation of church and state issue. If only the powers that be would look at the organizations that want this out: Agnositc, athiest, special interest groups (ACLU), Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), just to name a few. After a closer look they would see a trend of a minority using our constitution in a way that I am certain wasn't meant to be used. Let's remove things that bring us down morally. Let's remove things that hurt people emotionally.
The reason I believe we need the pledge kept in the schools is that is creates an awareness of our origins. I am not even so upset that 'under God' was removed, it wasn't added until 1954 anyway. But to kick out the pledge. COME ON! So, it offended someone. THAT person needs to leave my country. There is a council meeting at an elementry school in Oberlin, Ohio in April discussing the removal of the pledge. Imagine, this is the community that is well known for their participation in the Underground Railroad, the helping of the freeing of slaves. I will post the outcome.
ONe more thing. There is a new school cirriculum in America that is truly anti-American, the IBO. http://www.ceopa.org/InternationalBaccalaureate.html
I will write more about this socialistic wave next time. Until then, check out the website so you can follow my take on it.
If you know of a school in your area that is considering removing the pledge please take the time to voice your concern to them. This is a Goliath that we need to knock down America!

  2. Yes, it has been going on for a while. It is in the course of wanting not to offend anyone. Just like prayer, or Bible study groups after school. 'Not on public property' Our founding fathers would turn in their graves.
