Pledge of Allegiance skipped, Muslim poem read at Boston school on 9/11
 [WASHINGTONTIMES] The principal of Concord Carlisle High School in Boston issued an apology Wednesday after a Mohammedan poem was recited over the intercom on the 12th anniversary of 9/11, and the Pledge of Allegiance was not.Concord Bridge is about 5 miles down the road... According to principal Peter Badalament, a "small number" of people were outraged at the poem, which was meant to promote "cross-cultural understanding," Boston.com reported. Apparently, the Pledge of Allegiance was not read because of some confusion. No confusion over reading the poem though... "Yesterday was the first Wednesday of the school year; we were unaware that our student Pledge reader had an internship commitment on this day," Mr. Badalament said in the statement. "This was our responsibility to know. We humbly apologize that this oversight and communication gap occurred." So, of course, we couldn't do it. I mean he was the only one who knew the words. No, really... Mohja Kahf's "My Grandmother Washes Her Feet in the Sink of the Bathroom at Sears," tells a granddaughter's account of watching her grandmother adhere to the religious Mohammedan custom of washing her feet five times a day, Boston.com reported. Next year it could be "My Kid Can't Recite the Pledge of Allegiance on 9/11 Because His Principal is a Lying Liberal Asshole"... "Respectable Sears matrons shake their heads and frown," Miss Kahf writes, "as they notice what my grandmother is doing ... an affront to American porcelain ... a contamination of American Standards by something foreign and unhygienic requiring civic action and possible use of disinfectant spray." Where the hell did they dig up this piece of shit? It's almost as bad as, "I Rise"... Mr. Badalament said the district will "integrate the feedback that has been offered into our future work with students," Boston.com reported. Here's some feedback...fuck you!
