St. Louis Park, Minnesota, city council has decided to remove the pledge of allegiance from their meetings. Your thoughts? More info below:

The city council member, Anne Mavity, who proposed the idea says that not everyone who has business with the city council is a citizen. She says, “They certainly don’t need to come into city council chambers and pledge their allegiance to our country in order to tell us what their input is about a sidewalk in front of their home.”

But aren't the city council members part of government? Aren't they part of our country? Don't the city council members owe allegiance to their flag and their country?

Do we have to alter our allegiance to our own country because of foreigners who might live here?

Very stupid. It reminds me of the school in Texas who took the flag down on a Mexican Holiday because it could offend some kids....the news media couldn't find any Mexican American kids who were offended, but that didnt matter. Virtue signaling is out of control.

@FreeSpirit1 Something similar like that happened in Arizona. Students were told not to wear American attire on Cinco De Mayo day, because it might offend Mexicans.
