Madison Educrats Stop Censoring Pledge of Allegiance
Apparently weary of being a nationwide butt of ridicule,
government school bureaucrats in leftist-dominated Madison, Wis.,
decided today to stop censoring the Pledge of Allegiance and
national anthem.
The Madison School Board recently ruled out the pledge as a way
to comply with a state law requiring a daily moment of
patriotism; instead it chose an instrumental version of "The
Star-Spangled Banner," with the lyrics censored to avoid
offending the P.C. thought police.
But then a fed-up public spoke up. An 800-seat auditorium
overflowed Monday night and into this morning with citizens
wanting to express their opinion, The Associated Press reported
today.
Before the meeting started, the crowd spontaneously began
reciting the pledge, with the majority standing as a few
blame-America-first leftists booed. After finishing the oath,
supporters broke into applause and waved American flags.
"In this time of stress and fear, we need our 'Star-Spangled
Banner.' We need our Pledge of Allegiance," said World War II
veteran Dan Neviaser of Madison. "You know what we don't need?
Our school board."
But Mad Town board member Bill Keys, who backed the initial
censorship policy, remained unrepentant; he was the only member
to vote against the new policy. "You saw it done in this hall
tonight, with litmus tests and artificial displays of
patriotism," Keys claimed.
