  1. What the FUCK is this ruling? vox.com/politics/481401/suprem So #educators are now experts in what every religion may deem unacceptable…but really only “gay” stuff matters. But let’s imagine this was enforceable and they cared about anything but the genitalia of children: what if my child is being bullied into saying the #pledgeofallegiance ? Learning about #georgewashington ? I want teachers to be aware that my religion prohibits this kind of idolatry!!! #supremecourt #uspol

  2. Makes me want to rewrite the pledge:

    "I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stood, one nation, without Kings, with liberty, due process, and justice for all"

  3. #FCC asks stations for "pro-America" programming, like daily #PledgeofAllegiance

    FCC Chairman today urged joining "Pledge America Campaign" that Carr established to support Trump's "Salute to America 250" project

    Carr said in a press release that "I am inviting broadcasters to pledge to air programming in their local markets in support of this historic national, non-partisan celebration." … "air patriotic, pro-America programming in support of America’s 250th birthday."

  5. Years ago I wrote about the values in the 4H Pledge biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/20. Ever since then when I find a good pledge I drop it in the comments on that post. The poems make suitable reading for the Fourth of July, especially in these times. These aren't unthinking patriotism--they pledge to things like the soil in a garden and Janet Wong's "acceptance / of the views, / so different, /
    that make us America."

  6. Years ago I wrote a small proposal about what we might pledge ourselves to that fits These Days. I've been adding links to relevant poems in the comments every so often. Have any reading on this general theme that you like?

  7. Dear #Americans, can we be finally honest here after two months and admit that the #constitution is just a worthless piece of paper, the #pledgeofallegiance are just empty words, checks and balances are all bullshit and the basis for the #secondamendment is simply meaningless?

  8. We stand for a bride coming down the aisle, for a judge entering a courtroom, for the declaration of the Pledge of Allegiance, for the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and for other people of particular importance entering a room.

    Why do we stand for these things but not for the reading of the Word?

  9. An older post of mine suggesting an alternative to the Pledge of Allegiance biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/20. I keep finding and adding poems on various types of pledges in the comments--have any good ones I've missed?

  10. Was not disappointed by Kristin Ann Hass's "Blunt Instruments" about #monuments/memorials, #museums, and "patriotic practices" (i.e., #flags, #PledgeOfAllegiance). Great critical analysis of the cultural infrastructure that helps to perpetuate #WhiteSupremacy. Recommended #reading! #BeaconPress beacon.org/Blunt-Instruments-P

  11. The irony in US pledge of allegiance: "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all".

    Liberty, except to leave out "under God".
