Obama Signs Executive Order Banning The Pledge Of Allegiance In Schools Nationwide

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Early this morning, President Obama made what could very well prove to be the most controversial move of his presidency with the signing of Executive Order 13738, which revokes the federal government’s official recognition of the Pledge of Allegiance. Under the new order, it is now illegal for any federally funded agency to display the pledge or for any federal employee to recite, or encourage others to recite, the pledge while on duty. This law also applies to federal contractors and other institutions that receive federal funding such as public schools. Individuals who violate this order can face fines of up to $10,000 and up to one year in federal prison.

During the press conference, the President explained his decision was based on a personal belief that the language used in the pledge is “divisive” and “contrary to America’s deepest held values.”

"The President explained his decision was based on a personal belief that the language used in the pledge is “divisive” and “contrary to America’s deepest held values.”

Well, how DIVISIVE is it to God-fearing Patriots to have the Pledge and "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" removed from our schools? Ever think about that?? And "contrary to America’s deepest held values"? Really? What f'ing planet do you live on, Obama?

I just can't believe this guy.
 
And why isn't this story a headline on all the major news outlets??

We already did this last week.

It's a fake story and it's not ABC's actual news website.

But the pledge of allegiance should be discontinued, the whole thing has a fascistic tinge to it I don't particularly find palatable.

You started this thread knowing it was a fake story. Now everyone knows about it. My guess is that this thread goes on for 5-6 pages of crap.

Well I do believe our founding fathers were pretty much in agreement a Pledge was counter to individual liberty.

'GAWD fearing Patriots' didn't recite the under GAWD phrase until the 1950's, not quite a long standing tradition... :roll:

I can live with this... :peace

Yup. The POA is a loyalty oath.

All freedom loving Americans hate loyalty oaths.
