Boulder High School Pledge of Allegiance Rally After Action Report
On thursday morning a group of seven Patriots gathered in front of the Boulder High School to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. (Dale Lanham of Colorado Gathering of Eagles took this picture)
A few days before, a small group of students had stormed out of class to recite an alternative Pledge that had Marxist overtones.
This thread at Free Republic contains all of the links that I could find on the web describing the controversy, and stories were published all over the media about the students new pledge.
This video covers the whole rally. I took video of our group saying the Pledge and then interviewed everyone who attended to learn why they carved out a few minutes from their day to attend the rally. At the end of the video is a clip from the Denver Fox Television stations interview of Gerald Mangus who organized the rally.
Finally a nice testimony about the Pledge of Allegiance from
Red Skelton: The Pledge of Allegiance
