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.
