No Pledge of Allegiance in Massachusetts' Classrooms

          A few weeks ago I wrote about a man who was not allowed to fly the American Flag inside the living room window of his own home (MacNiven - May 27, 2010), and today's news is more of the same liberal garbage.  Check out the link below if you are like me and find it hard to believe, but it is verily true...the principle of a Massachusetts High School has actually forbidden students from reciting the US Pledge of Allegiance inside the classroom.  However, not wishing to appear anti-American, he has generously allowed the students to recite the pledge before school begins, but only in the school's foyer.  The liberal principal's name is Charles Skidmore and he is supported by his superintendent Kathleen Bodie.  Their reasoning is typical of politically correct liberals.  They "wanted to be sensitive to the diverse group of students" in the school.  It is okay to offend thousands of American students by preventing them from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but heaven forbid if we ever offend an atheist student who doesn't believe in God or an illegal alien who refuses to obey US law.  
          One of the students in the school, a 17 year old patriot named Sean Harrington, noticed that there were no American Flags displayed inside his Arlington, Massachusetts High School.  He enlisted the help of other students to help him get them installed, and while he was at it he decided that it would be appropriate if they could recite the Pledge of Allegiance.  His request to recite the pledge was denied by a 3-3 vote of some high school committee with the lame excuse that even voluntarily reciting the pledge might violate some people's religious beliefs.  One of the no-votes on the committee was a woman named Leba Heigham, who was quoted as saying, "Patriotism is a very personal thing to all of us", but she did not think it was in the committee's best interest to have the students or teachers recite the Pledge of Allegiance in their classrooms.
          So there you have it!  No American Flags and now no Pledge of Allegiance.  We should have seen it coming when, during the 2008 election, Obama refused to place his hand over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem.  What kind of America are we leaving to future generations?
