The gradual fall of American Patriotism continues
This is horribly disappointing.
School Scraps Standing During Pledge Requirement
DILWORTH, Minn. (AP) ― The Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton School Board has scrapped a rule that students stand during the Pledge of Allegiance.
On a 5-2 vote, the board voted to amend the handbook to allow students to sit out the Pledge.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota had said it would consider a lawsuit if the rule stood.
School board members had deadlocked on the issue in May. But they were reluctant to drag the western Minnesota district into a costly legal fight.
Last month, Junior High Principal Colleen Houglum suspended three students for sitting during the Pledge and a fourth who remained seated in protest the next day.
The handbook rule had required students to stand even if they choose not to recite the Pledge.

Things are definately getting out of control, maybe someone ought to sue ACLU for being anti-American. What ever happened to pride in ones country? If your not proud to be an American, well the borders work both ways, don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!

I had traffic court the other night, and I was pleasantly surprised when the judge started court by ordered everyone to stand for the pledge of allegiance. That was a first for me. The judges always swear everyone in, but I haven't done the pledge of allegiance at court before.

tradition and pride are being kicked to the curb

We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

I wish we could sue ACLU for being "anti-America". Isn't that their objective though?

Why is America selling herself out to the few who are attempting to make change to support their own agenda.
