Atlanta school eliminates morning Pledge of Allegiance, by Zachary Hansen, Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, 8/9/18.
An Atlanta charter school will not recite the Pledge of
Allegiance as part of its morning meeting agenda.
Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School on Grant
Street announced the change Tuesday in a statement from elementary campus
president Lara Zelski.
The decision was made “in
an effort to begin our day as a fully inclusive and connected community,”
Zelski said. “Over the past couple of years it has become increasingly obvious
that more and more of our community were choosing to not stand and/or recite
the pledge.”
Students will be given
the opportunity to say the pledge at another point during the school day and
they will continue to be asked to stand to participate in the school’s Wolf
Pack Chant each morning, according to the statement.
“Teachers and the K-5
leadership team will be working with students to create a school pledge that we
can say together at morning meeting,” Zelski said.
That pledge, she
said, “will focus on students’ civic responsibility to their school
family, community, country and our global society.”
Comments
Parents
who are concerned about having their children raised to be “global citizens”
should transfer their children out of this school. Most schools have more
indoctrination than education, but this charter school takes the cake on
treason. Liberals are driven to
government service, because they are socialists. They are committed to global
governance and the end of US sovereignty. This school cancelled its plan to
drop the pledge of allegiance, but the liberals still run the school and will
continue to indoctrinate the students in globalism and socialism.
