If you don't get it you must be a traitor. –Moderanus
They have to keep the riffraff happy, reminding them of the godless liberals out to destroy Christmas at the same time Muslims are preventing the pledge. Mesa County eats it up.
My wife got a Starbucks the other day. The cup said "Merry Coffee". Stupid libruls!
The Douglas County GOP figures it can't go too far wrong by pandering to extraordinarily stupid and racist white people. Sure it's a non sequitur of epic proportions, but "wholesome white Christian kids good, brown Mooslims bad" resonates with the target audience big time.
Every public school I've worked in in Colorado (300+ of them counting all the places I've subbed )- we say the "Pledge" every morning. Sometimes adults read it over the intercom, sometimes students read it, sometimes it's in English and Spanish. But everyone pledges. Occasionally, a kid will sit it out. Or not say "under God".
No biggie.
I enjoy saying the Pledge of Allegiance, "One Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and Justice for All.”
I find it inspiring and progressive, even if the Trumpistas like being Divisible and want liberty and justice only for people who look and act as they do.
I tried to tell my ultra-conservative South Dakota ex sister in law that we godless liberals Pledge every AM, after she sent me a meme similar to the one above: Something like, "The Libs will hate this. But you should Like this if you want every school to say the Pledge every morning!"
I tried to tell her that particular battle was won long ago, but to no avail. I'm patriotic AF myself. She thinks she's the patriotic one. Yet she supports a President who is in the process of selling our Democracy to Russia. Sigh.
I always skip the under god part. This is my flag, if God wants one she can make her own!
In our little corner of eastern Ohio, we had mandatory Pledge of Allegiance, mandatory Lord's Prayer recitation, and mandatory Bible readings in our public elementary school up to about 1967 or so. In retrospect, I figured the yo-yos on the school board were not about to let a bunch of robe-wearing sissies in D.C. tell them how to run their schools. I assume a robe-wearing sissy in eastern Ohio got the job done, because the invisible magic sky daddy stuff was suddenly just gone. Pledge recitation became optional, thereby dragging the school board, kicking and screaming, boldly into 1943.
Pledging allegiance to a flag is a hard pass for me. Luckily, the Constitution gives me the right to pass.
Aye…I am quite comfortable pledging allegiance to the Constitution…but little else.
