Rep Molly White Asks Muslim Visitors to Pledge Allegiance
Don't we do that in high school? Do we still do that in high school? It's been a while for me.
People have always had the right to abstain from doing the pledge of allegiance at school if they were of special circumstance (I.e., exchange student). Frankly this is all missing the point, the fact is that Rep. White required 'Muslim' visitors to pledge allegiance, not all visitors.
From her the implication is clear: Muslims are not trustworthy Americans.
Just because most terrorists are moslems it doesn't mean most moslems are terrorist,
Just because most mass shooters are atheist, it doesn't mean most atheist are mass shooters,
Just because Marxism has never worked, it doesn't mean Marxism will never work
Because most criminal use guns, all gun owners are criminals
Because some men rape, all men are rapist
Because some immigration is good, all immigration is good.

Actually the pledge was mandatory for students until the Jehovah's Witnesses sued and took it all the way to the Supreme Court where they won.

Dealing with the world's problems one stupid one liner at a time.
Just because most terrorists are moslems it doesn't mean most moslems are terrorist,
Just because most mass shooters are atheist, it doesn't mean most atheist are mass shooters,
Because most criminal use guns, all gun owners are criminals
Because some men rape, all men are rapist

Do you understand the contradiction in your own convictions that are coming out? Are you saying most muslims are terrorists? Are you saying most atheists are mass shooters?
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus

I agree with your point on Molly White. That was uncalled for.
