Atlanta school: No more Pledge of Allegiance to start day
August 09, 2018 11:05 AM in News Source: Associated Press By: Associated Press Share:
ATLANTA (AP) — Students at an Atlanta school will no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance to start their school day.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School on Tuesday announced the change in a news release.

Elementary campus president Lara Zelski told parents it has become “increasingly obvious” during the past couple of years that more people were choosing not to stand or recite the pledge.

School officials say students will continue to be asked to stand to participate in the school’s Wolf Pack Chant each morning.

Also, teachers will work with students to create a school pledge that will focus on civic responsibility to the students’ “school family, community, country and our global society.”



It's a shame they can't stop "free' lunches or breakfasts to that "school"

Always thought the pledge was super weird anyways. Plus, like cursive, it's not exactly something that happens in the real world.

I wish they would defund those schools choosing to do that. Indoctrination at it's finest.

When's the last time you said the pledge? I honestly don't think I've ever said it outside of school

Can the US Dept. of Ed. ditch ALL funding to that school? Would seem appropriate. School ditches USA, USA ditches school.
