Days before the 10th anniversary of 9/11 a leader from a group in Massachusetts is calling on public schools in one town to ban students from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, saying it has no educational value and the pressure it places on children to participate makes his “skin crawl,” The Boston Globe reported.
Martin Rosenthal, the co-chair of Brookline Political Action for Peace, or Brookline Pax, told the paper the pledge puts “kids in an uncomfortable situation” and doesn’t belong in schools.

Screw this guy, deport him to another country... He makes my stomach turn, are we going to take anymore of this crap?
It most certainly DOES belong in our schools.
Look, we let them take prayer out of our schools, we let them take corporal punishment out of our schools.
Stop the madness! Our kids need to KNOW the Pledge of Allegiance and they need to take that pledge regularly!
If the foreigners and illegals don't want their kid reciting the pledge, then they need to be send back to where they came from because obviously, they do not stand by OUR country!
the pledge is no different than Maoist songs of indoctrination
its all social construction
like bible stories and prayers
I would be more worried we are not teaching children to think for them selves and challenge our apparent failures and misconceptions clinging to fantasy and an apparent flawed past
He puts me in an uncomfortable situation and doesn't belong in this country.
Yes those bible stories and prayers were just so horrible. Trying to teach kids right from wrong and that there are consequences for their actions. OH the trauma it caused them. LOOK at the schools now. Yeah taking the bible out of the schools was a great idea. NOT!
Whether one is a native of this country or has adopted this country as his homeland, he should say the pledge of allegiance with pride. In addition, we should teach our children to recite the pledge. They may not understand all the words at a young age, but as they maure they will, and they will say the pledge with even more pride. This guy seems like another Massachusetts nut case.
