The Pledge of Allegiance is part of American Heritage. It has been said in our schools for decades. Ignorance is those who want to live in America but want to change it for their own beliefs. Those who can’t accept our heritage should leave our country!
If they get offended……. LEAVE!!!!!!!
If the international students don’t like our pledge of allegiance, they don’t have to recite it. So what is the problem here??? PC out of control again.
And everyone one needs to quit coddling these people cause oh no! We might offend someone! So what!!! If I don’t believe the same thing then you so what!! I have never once cared that they don’t believe in god and they praise Allah, I’m not offended by it, maybe they need to suck it up and put their big kid pants on! Cause news flash people we live in a world with tons of different religions and beliefs! Quit trying to force yours on us! If we accidentally hand you a flier about one of our holidays feel free to throw it away, but quit being whiny little bitches about everything!!! Geez
Dont like our pledge….get out of our country
that is bullsh*t.
Time we remind those people, this is OUR Home…welcome to it….you don’t like it, head home…we’ll pull the plug..1/2 way for ya!
I would never expect this in Wyoming…
who give a rats tail end about those visitors. This is how we do things here in the U.S. Tell them to take their hurt feelings back home and get educated elsewhere and give those classroom chairs to Americans that want the education. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under god, with justice and liberty for all.
