JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: BANNING THE OPPRESSIVE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE - AS ONE SCHOOL HEAD HAS DONE


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE ON BLACKLISTED NEWS


Banning the Pledge of Allegiance from public school is not shameful in the least. It is a great idea.

The Pledge is an oppressive practice, and it has no long-term history in the United States. Most of the Founding Fathers would have been appalled at the very concept.

Why should a free citizen be (effectively) required to pledge his or her loyalty daily?

It is right out of Nazi practices, and, indeed, years ago it was recited in schools with arms outstretched much in the fashion of the Hitler salute.
