Current Events > Mayor BANS the PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE but EVERYONE in the room STANDS anyway!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Shane Fuhrman, the mayor of a 550 person mountain town made the announcement at a board meeting on June 14 to BAN the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE at public meetings because he called it direct threats in his community...but when he did, EVERYBODY in that room including the board of trustees and attendees stood up to recite their allegiance to the United States of America.

He responded by threatening to kick everybody out of the meeting after making the executive decision to ban the pledge due to direct and indirect threats and inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings and the general divisiveness of issues created in the community

He didn't elaborate on what the threats were but added they will discuss this at a board retreat or workshop

But that drew the ire of the many patriotic americans in there including Trustee Molly Berla who called him out for his unilateral decision as he responded it was not up for discussion at this point

After 5 minutes into it, a woman stands up and says "I would like to make one comment. I would like ot stake a stand for the Pledge of Allegiance" as the whole crowd and a few trustees stood up and recited the pledge as Fuhrman says it was out of order who said "We did have a one strike policy. I'm not going to ask everyone ot leave tonight but if something like that happens again i will"

Berla said the mayor brought up his desire to discontinue the pledge last year over zoom with a 4-3 vote to continue it and was outraged over his unilateral decision to ban it and said his decision to remove everyone at the meeting who did it again violates the 1st amendment and slaps the rights of vetrans

Sausage Tramp, Lauren Boebert shared the video and said "It's hard to put into words what kind of anti-American disgrace this is. Mayor Fuhrman should resign and purchase a one way ticket to China where he won't have to worry about hearing the pledge to the greatest country in the world. We have veterans who risk their lives to keep us safe and we pledge to show our loyalty to them. Every american should pledge their loyalty to this country that gave them the freedom they now have"

The pledge of allegiance has become a hot topic over the years where several students have sat during the pledge every morning while teachers sometimes forced them to stand which could lead to the next big issue in America after the ban on CRT.

Would you vote to ban the pledge of allegiance?

Pretty sure it's already voluntary. It's wrapped into the first amendment.

That said, yeah. Let's stop wasting time on it every morning.

Forcing one to recite a pledge is nationalist bullshit.

Good on him

---

Nice

---

If the board wants to say it I don't see where it's a big deal. What's he gonna do kick them out of every meeting? lol

and that crowd was Albert Einstein

The pledge is as dumb as religion

We need to protect voting rights because the pledge has proven that you can easily prime Americans for the installation of fascism.

Also, of course that QAnon jackass Boebert would tell someone to move to state-worshipping China if they don't want to worship the American state.

This is the liberal atheist college professor copypasta given unholy life.

Why do I get the feeling it was all staged?

That's funny.

But also, this sounds like a start to one of those "And then a bald eagle named Liberty shed a tear on the American flag..." stories. Except it's apparently real life.
