California never disappoints these days when it comes to hating the values upon which this great country was founded.
Whether it’s turning the state into a ‘sanctuary state’ and forbidding law enforcement and local businesses to work with ICE to deport illegal aliens, or whether it is banning Christians from helping a gay child to bring their sexuality back into a Godly and appropriate balance, they are always on the cutting edge of anti-Americanism.
Well today we see it again, demonstrated by these protesters mocking a woman to tears who said the Pledge of Allegiance at Santa Barbara Community College even though it had been banned at their public meetings. They even hid the flag, which is why she brought her own.
Watch:
Here’s more from Breitbart:
Celeste Barber fought back when Santa Barbara Community College (SBCC) banned the Pledge of Allegiance from its public meetings by reciting it at a meeting last week where she was mocked to the point of tears.
SBCC Board of Trustees President Robert Miller recently removed the pledge from public meeting agendas and when Barber wrote an email objecting, Miller responded with a scathing rebuke of the American tradition of honoring flag and country because it “has a history steeped in expressions of nativism and white nationalism” and referred to another who described it as expressing “bigotry.”
Here’s part of the email Miller wrote to Barber:
I decided to discontinue use of the Pledge of Allegiance for reasons related to its history and symbolism. Our flag is a powerful symbol of freedom and our system of government, but I prefer to pledge allegiance to our constitution, instead of a physical object. Indeed, when sworn in, each Trustee takes an oath to support and defend the U.S. and California constitutions.
I also object to the phrase “one nation under God.” The First Amendment not only protects freedom of speech and religion, it also expressly prohibits laws that establish a religion. The U.S. Supreme Court has expressly extended those rights to those who express no belief in God. Thus, I disagree with the 1955 act of Congress to add this phrase to the Pledge of Allegiance.
Moreover, I have discovered that the Pledge of Allegiance has a history steeped in expressions of nativism and white nationalism. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1890 by Francis Bellamy, a former Baptist minister.
He hates that the pledge says we are “one nation under God” and says it’s stepped in “white nationalism” and “nativism”. Amazing.
Just a few years ago Democrats wanted to remove God from their national platform at their big DNC meeting, and it seems they continue to try and remove God from their everyday life.
And this is evidenced by how they treated this woman who said the pledge of allegiance.
I’ve cued the video up to 10:50 if you want to watch her entire 4-ish minute speech:
UPDATE: Pledge of Allegiance reinstated!
