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?

Little by little they are eroding our culture. They wont be happy until we are a dictatorship with no right to independence.

@curiosi As long as no one gets offended.
Let them get offended. Being "offended" is on a par of always when things don't go the way someone or some groups don't agree with someone else's views, suddenly they're "racist", "xenophobic", "Islamaphobic", words and phrases that try and shame people. If I don't attack someone personally, but I express my views that they disagree with and they're offended, well I say this: Life's a bitch, things aren't always what YOU want them to be, and get over yourselves and your pangs of insecurity and vanity"!@GunSmoke9

@soar2newhighs Since when is being offended a crime? We are becoming a nation of snowflakes, looking for things that might offend us.
A painting of George Washington in San Francisco might be painted over because it is seen as being racist. People trying to erase history, sad and dangerous.
Agreed-thank you.@GunSmoke9
