A city in Rep. Ilhan Omar's Minnesota district voted to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance before council meetings. Flag-waving citizens are protesting.
American patriotism is certainly more than the recitation of a pledge. But disregard for the truths within it will lead to this country's demise and an abandonment of our nation's most basic principles.
This is what former SBCC educator Celeste Barber discovered when she approached the school's board of trustees in an effort to restore the Pledge of Allegiance to their meetings.
