A key Latino leader, joining those who said teens were harassing a Native American elder is demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance be rewritten
He made this proposal: The upgraded version should read: "I pledge allegiance and love to our indigenous and immigrant heritage, rooted in the United States of America, to our civil rights for which we strive, one voice, one nation, for equality and justice for all."
Vargas said the pledge has a history of racism...At worst, the pledges disturbing history excludes countless communities, including my own family. At best, reciting the pledge has become a perfunctory exercise of rote memorization, he wrote. Our pledge of allegiance should be rooted in optimism, not stem from the fear of a white native-born Protestant culture. It is time to upgrade our pledge so we can truly recite words that live up to a nation that takes pride in our immigrant heritage and equality of all Americans.

No kidding. F him. And what is this “Native Elder” BS? Not my tribe. He’s a bum with a drum.
To: Rummyfan
I don’t know, but he doesn’t understand the Pledge.
My allegiance is to Ideal, Principle, and First Cause. Not to any flimsy temporal, material ‘whatever’.

This ungrateful bum Cesar Vargas was the 1st illegal alien allowed a license to practice law (NYS), allowed to be hired by the Bernie Sanders campaign, allowed to work with the US Congress on the Dream Act and finally
he was given Dreamer (DACA) status by Obama. And he now proves that Dreamers are really nothing more the screamers and schemers who will never be satisfied till they destroy America and disenfranchise all patriotic Americans
