Kudos to the kids who saw right through this crap. The “principal” should be reprimanded for this stupid move. Show anyone where federal dollars are used in reciting the pledge?? Its just as stupid as closing down an un-staffed, open-air park or memorial.

From wikipedia on Ted Cruz

... Cruz has authored more than 80 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court.

...Cruz authored a U.S. Supreme Court brief for all 50 states successfully defending the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, winning 9-0 in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow.

The idiot principal really thinks that the Pledge of Allegiance is about the government?

[JLS]

So Jones thinks:

1. people are pledging allegiance to the government or administration of the particular time?

2. the flag represents the government not the people and when the government is partially shut down, the people do not exist?

3. the government is somehow separate from the people and owed allegiance that the people are not?

maybe he was worried about his government cheese shipments ??

seriously, he is an idiot. I am surprised he did not blame G. Bush while he was at it.

The principal blames the govt shutdown? What a weaseling lying jackass.

[Ray76]

The truth is that he is another America-hating mole who has infiltrated our schools.

Cute, but idiotic.

I'm not going to stop anybody from reciting the Pledge. But not only was the Pledge written by a socialist, if patriots would actually think about the "one Nation, " and "indivisible" words that they say when they recite the Pledge, they might wise up to the idea that it is state sovereignty-ignoring, pro-federal government propaganda.

Note that Thomas Jefferson had indicated that foreign nations were to regard the states as one nation, while citizens were to regard the states as independent nations.

"The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign nations." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800.

More than 120 years of schoolchildren reciting the Pledge has arguably helped the federal government to become the unconstitutionally big monstrosity that it is today.
