I tried to warn you conks this would eventually happen...
HS Students Say Pledge In Arabic: ‘One Nation Under Allah’
The principal at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, is facing a hailstorm of criticism from some very angry parents and residents.
The school recites the Pledge of Allegiance weekly, on Mondays. Last Monday, a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the student body in an Arabic version of the pledge, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”
Principal Tom Lopez denies any attempt to push an Islamic agenda, saying, “These students love this country. They were not being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English.”
Principal Lopez doesn’t make any sense. Speaking unintelligible words in Arabic in some way accentuates their meaning? That is an extremely weak argument in defense of an ill-advised decision.
He said the cultural clubs seeks to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the high school.
That would translate into “destroy the barriers to Islam and embrace it,” correct, Mr. Lopez?
The Poudre School District communications director, Danielle Clark, said they understand why parents are upset. She told Fox News, “We understand not everybody would agree with the students’ choice. We’ve heard there are some who are upset.”
Let’s put his into perspective for the feeble-minded Clark and Lopez. It is not the student’s choice. They do not control the public address system. It was a school choice.

I thought Allah
was God for the body odor-ridden camel fuckers?
Weird that they are so adamant about speaking their hateful god's name but feign such anger when you draw a picture of Muhammad. In fact I'm going to draw another picture of Muhammad and wipe my ass with it.

I am just shocked.
Shocked that there's still a school district in this country that allows the pledge to be said at all....ESPECIALLY with the words "under God (or Allah, in this case)" still being uttered.

It's a home school.

It flows more smoothly that way.... "one nation under superstitious nonsense" is a bit cumbersome for grade schoolers.

And you stand with the side that claims to be tolerant?
Neither you, nor your people, are tolerant.

Tolerance would be "one nation, with liberty and justice for all".

Tolerance? What if I wanted to insert, "One nation, under a big fat penis that is drilling down into a vagina...".
Would that work, or would you, being perhaps a bit intolerant, find that extra verbiage a bit unnecessary?

That is really far fetched. And why are you calling America a taint?
Personally, I am "meh" to the whole thing. It doesn't affect my life one way or the other.

Tolerance would be "one nation, with liberty and justice for all".
Wouldn't tolerance be allowing "under God" without interference?

Who is interfering and what's wrong with the original?

It would be intolerant if you excluded certain religions.

True. Have them fill out the proper paperwork to gain approval if that is what they want.
