At least 100 angry protesters vented their fury Monday night against a decision by a Minnesota city council to ban the Pledge of Allegiance, Fox News reported Wednesday.
The group reportedly stormed the council chambers, waved American flags and shouted “U.S.A.!”
St. Louis Park city council announced its decision following a unanimous vote, saying it was banning the pledge in consideration of the city’s “diverse community.”
St. Louis Park is located in Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s congressional district.

America has always been diverse and one of the rules is that when you become a citizen you give up allgience to the prior country and pledge for America. Muslims again
Exactly! You “pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God…” If you’re not willing to take that pledge and make that promise, you shouldn’t be here.

It’s Minnesota, folks; remember they elected a professional wrestler as Governor.
and an anti- American Hate monger Muslim
Yes they did so elect. That said, which of the two are less desirable. A former professional athelete as governor or this particular woman as a Member of Congress.
As a Veteran said on TV earlier today “The pledge of allegiance ends with the words, “Liberty and Justice for ALL”.
How on earth can the word all not be all inclusive? How could it not be diverse? Recall every member of the council and replace them with real Americans.
Also, kick them in the butt as they go out the door.
One more
If you do not like it here then get the hell out.
I HATE MUSLIMS ……PERIOD…..
THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH…………PURE EVIL AND HATE……..
THEY ARE LOWER THAN THE DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS…….AND THAT’S GOING SOME…..
Agreed

It’s very simple. Any one who does not honor this country needs to find another home. Pledge of allegiance is part of the bed rock of this nation on which it was founded. If we compromise on our founding principles we will lose this great nation.
You are so right ! if you are unhappy here then get out .
The wording could be changed to “liberty and justice for non muslims” because their religion does not permit liberty and justice.
Which tradition will be the next one to be banned? Lapel crosses? I take note of “banned”…does that mean you can’t say it even if the majority present wants to say it, or is it just absent or not otherwise recited unless requested? What if one American wants it said…what happens to his rights under this particular definition of diversity? Hey I know…let’s ban stealing…oh wait, the government already steals…never mind.
Ordinary Americans take their symbols of freedom seriously and tend to get even with those who would decry them. Hopefully, Minnesota has sufficient numbers to vote them out in 2020.
We can hope anyway.
If I were the Mayor, I would tell the ‘diverse population’ to either swear allegiance to this country or get the Hell OUT of it!
But what if the Mayor is one of THEM ???
Deport Omar back to Somalia!
The ONLY ones that consider the pledge of allegiance to be offensive are the Anti-Americans who are determined to get rid of all of our true American patriotism. This city council has been brainwashed and should be replaced immediately Minnesota has become a hot bed for the muslim community and should be put in it;s place as the terrorist state that it has become!. Lets get ICE to move in and clean out the garbage that has found “refuge” within its state boundaries.
Minnesota ISIS recruitment Center of the United States ….Don’t let a Minnesotan into your Neighborhood….The Muzz are taking Root..
Obama is largely responsible. He reportedly resettled 43,000 Somali refugees in the U.S. during his eight years, many in MN.
Pay attention; we are witnessing the dismantling of America.
USA!
If you are a citizen of the USA you stand proudly and participate in the pledge of allegiance.
If you are not a citizen, but a visitor, you do not recite the pledge BUT you stand out of respect to the host country.
