#1 three recently elected student trustees, who ran for office wearing revolutionary-style berets and said they do not believe in publicly swearing an oath to the American flag and government at their school.

#2 was directly designed to destroy my ideology

Said ideology killed well over 100 000 000 men, women and children all over the world, including several genocides/democides, one of whom killed twice as many people as the nazi genocide of jews... and re-introduced mass slavery and forced labor into the Western world... and held literally billions in political oppression... and was an expert user and sponsor of terror, subversion, having the mandate to cheat, lie, obsfucate, invert values, pretend and manipulate, in the name of Progress... so much that it is still slowing killing off western civilization as we speak.

No wonder he wishes to have it preserved.

#4 It's three Che wannabes who got themselves elected on this platform. I'm glad that some of their classmates are willing to stand openly against such childish posturing. After all, it's easy enough for atheists just not to say the "under God" phrase, and there is a long history of religious socialists. In fact, religious communism has a long history in Christianity -- both amongst the heretical sects and mainstream communities of monks and nuns. It's a good thing these student leaders are still in school; there remains the possibility they'll be exposed to the information they need to think clearly.

#5 "That ('under God') part is sort of offensive to me," student trustee Jason Bell, who proposed the ban, told Reuters. "I am an atheist and a socialist, and if you know your history, you know that 'under God' was inserted during the McCarthy era and was directly designed to destroy my ideology."

Let's talk about the millions dead at the hands of your ideology, hmmm?

#6 Poseurs. Colleges and universities are the factories that produce the cogs of the vast capitalist conspiracy. If these punks really wanted to stick it to The Man, they would volunteer to impart the vast knowledge and wisdom of their 19 years to the oppressed peoples of the Congo or become harem eunuchs in Saudi.

#7 The move was lead by three recently elected student trustees, who ran for office wearing revolutionary-style berets and said they do not believe in publicly swearing an oath to the American flag and government at their school.

I bet they will, however, be quite willing to accept federal student loans to matriculate at this world renowned institute of higher learning.
If I could find the matchbook their entrance application is printed on, I might try drawing the pirate to see if I could get in.

#8 "That ('under God') part is sort of offensive to me," student trustee Jason Bell, who proposed the ban, told Reuters. "I am an atheist and a socialist, and if you know your history, you know that 'under God' was inserted during the McCarthy era and was directly designed to destroy my ideology."
Bell said the ban largely came about because the trustees didn't want to publicly vow loyalty to the American government before their meetings. "Loyalty ought to be something the government earns through performance, not through reciting a pledge," he said.
Martha Parham, a spokeswoman for the Coast Community College District, said her office had no standing on the student board and took no position on the flag salute ban.
"If their personal belief is that they don't want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, the district certainly isn't going to dictate what they do," she said.
