An Air Force veteran is outraged that her daughter’s school recently announced that students will be asked to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each day, the Seattle Times reports. Haley Sides, 26, moved to Seattle after four years in the Air Force so her 6-year-old daughter could attend John Stanford International School, which promotes the same multiculturalism that Sides says she has tried to instill in her half-Jamaican daughter, according to the paper. But Sides became angry when the school’s new principal announced that students will be asked to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each day before the start of classes. The policy, which has long been mandated by district policy but not traditionally observed at John Stanford , will start Monday. "It pains me to think that at a school that emphasizes thinking globally we would institute something that makes our children think that this country alone is where their allegiance lies," said Sides. "This has no educational value for young children. Absolutely none." Read the entire piece here

Egalitarian multiculturalism via an Air Force veteran
A supposed US Air Force Veteran (mother) is upset because her child's school isn't globalist and multiculturalist enough for her desires. Here's a tip lady....There are planes and buses leaving America every hour and walking ain't crowded. And by all means please take your multiracial, multiculturalist, post nuclear family and go and search out a more fitting culture that meets more closely with your globalist anti American desires and expectations.
