Boston school scraps Pledge of Allegiance on 9/11 for poem about a Muslim washing her filthy feet in a sink at a Sears Department Store
The principal of Concord Carlisle High
School is apologizing to parents about the school’s opening ceremony on
Wednesday – the 12th anniversary of 9/11 – in which a Muslim poem was
recited over the intercom but the Pledge of Allegiance was not.
Boston.com Principal
Peter Badalament said in a statement to parents that the poem was meant
to promote “cross-cultural understanding,” and that the Pledge of
Allegiance was not read because of a mixup with the student reader.
The combination of the two has
“outraged a small number of members of our community,” Badalament said
in an email to the Globe, noting that the school has received a handful
of calls and about 10 emails from unhappy parents.
“Yesterday was the first Wednesday of
the school year; we were unaware that our student Pledge reader had an
internship commitment on this day,” Badalament said in the statement..
“This was our responsibility to know. We humbly apologize that this
oversight and communication gap occurred.”
damn Yankees!!! wanna bet?

Deletethe pledge of fealty (written by a Lincoln adoring socialist) should be scrapped nationwide.
ReplyDeletejust my considered opinion, of course.
We are definitely on the same page, Sir.
