Woke North Dakota School Board Dumps Pledge of Allegiance, Claims It Isn’t ‘Inclusive’

Board member Seth Holden said that because “the word ‘God’ in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized … the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian god and therefore, it does not include any other faith such as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, all of which are practiced by our staff and students.”

Holden also said it excluded those in Fargo schools who don’t believe in god. He claimed he is not against the Pledge itself, but that it can’t be said in a school committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, Inforum reported.

Member Robin Nelson, who voted to keep the Pledge, didn’t see anything wrong with reciting it.

…” diversion, equity ( not equality?) and inclusion”.
it is pointed out that GOD is Judeo-Christian. So are we to believe if a student is not Christian they are necessarily referring to and acknowledging a Judeo-Christian God?
If not mistaken there is no wording “Judeo-Christian” in the pledge of allegiance. God can be who the student chooses God to be.
I wonder, being as pointed out that there are staff and students who practice Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, if under the guises of diversity, inclusion, and equity (not equality?) are required to be taught and accepting of curriculum that may not be accepted by their faith and religious practices?
Does this school system include LGBTQ related studies?
I would find it hard to accept that ALL students as like staff so identified, would necessarily be accepting of such tenets which might in fact not be accepted in their religion.
