    Yes. It needs to be taken back. I’ve been thinking things like a large group of protesters saying the pledge of allegiance would be quite impactful as to who’s on the other side.

    Being arrested at a protest? Yell the pledge. See how they try to spin that.

      The don’t need to spin anymore. They simply won’t show that footage to their viewers.

    • I hosted a German exchange student in 2006. She, along with the other Germans, were aghast when they saw us all stand for the pledge to the flag in homeroom every morning. They explained that they were (rightly) taught that this kind of behavior is the precursor to horrible, horrible things.
