Fox News - Days before the 10th anniversary of 9/11 a leader from a group in Massachusetts is calling on public schools in one town to ban students from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, saying it has no educational value and the pressure it places on children to participate makes his “skin crawl,” The Boston Globe reported. Martin Rosenthal, the co-chair of Brookline Political Action for Peace, or Brookline Pax, told the paper the pledge puts “kids in an uncomfortable situation” and doesn’t belong in schools. The pledge is recited once a week in Brookline public schools. It is said during morning announcements and children are afforded the opportunity to not participate. Supporters of the ban say these children are often criticized by classmates and the ban would help stop the bullying. But the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 is nearing, and criticism for the resolution has been swift. Christie Coombs, a mother whose husband died on American Airlines Flight 11 during the attacks of Sept. 11, told The Boston Herald that the idea makes her “sick to her stomach.” “America has been through a lot with the bad economy and soldiers dying in Afghanistan on a weekly basis, but we’ve pulled back together. A majority of Americans are proud to pay tribute to the flag,” she told the Herald. Stone said she doesn’t anticipate the school committee reconsidering its current policy, The Globe reported. Rosenthal, meanwhile, told the Herald that he's not being unpatriotic; rather, he is “standing up for what’s great about this country.” Joe Colantoni, a Korean War veteran, responded in the paper: “Tell him he’s full of (expletive).”
Preach Joe Colantoni, preach.
So this guy's skin crawls because kids are asked to voluntarily pledge allegiance to the flag? And we wonder what’s wrong with the country these days?
Hey buddy, get the fuck out. Just get out, leave. Pack up your shit and go. There is no room, no room for assholes like you. And I’m sure you think you’re just being an enlightened free thinker, and you know what, maybe you are, but there’s a special designated place for free thinking hippies like you with no national pride, its called Canada.
Canadians get made fun of all the time, jokes at their expense daily, get treated like the 51st state, taxation without representation, etc, etc... and they don't give a shit, so go on ahead and join them up there and have fun being a homeless mans version of America, because we don't want your sorry ass anymore.
That's all I have to say about that.
