My son attends a school that is over 1/3 Somolian.
There are also a lot of Asian families in the public
school system. In the pledge of allegiance it says
"One nation under God". Many Somolians are Muslim and
many Asians are Buddhist. I believe their families
may have a problem with that portion of the pledge.
Wasn't that issue the very reason the schools steered
away from the pledge in the first place? I remember
it being a part of my daily ritual in school, I just
can't remember when it stopped and why?
Can any old timer out there enlighten us?
