Murica? Do you think that it is right for College Students to say Pledge Against the USA?

I have said it all along but this is just part of a populace that is growing and that is anti-USA. I think it is time for us to put a reality hat and stop with the partisan shenanigans of a small portion of this society. Here below is the utter non-sense:
"If you sign up for Denver college professor Charles Angeletti's American Civilization class, be forewarned that you're going to have to recite his invective-filled 'New Pledge' -- and according to some of his students, also be ready to swallow a big helping of his politics.
Angeletti, who teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver, has students learn an anti-American spoof of the Pledge of Allegiance that denounces the U.S. as a Republican-controlled bastion of injustice, all while spewing his own far-left brand of politics, according to current and former students.
“I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in the flag of the United States Against Anything Un-American,” reads Angeletti's version. “And to the Republicans for which it stands, two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants, children of illegal immigrants, and you, if you don't watch your step.”
“We’re very racist, we’re very repressive, we’re very Christian oriented, we don’t tolerate other kinds of thinking in this country.”
- Charles Angeletti, professor at Metropolitan State University

What are your views other than it was Fox News? Are you really for America and this? Leave your voting cards at home...

If people don't like this country then they should leave. Students should elect out of his course. I fear that a lot of kids would enjoy it though!

I don't know about his "students," but I sure don't make pledges and oaths lightly.

I'd say the professor is a turd! If he doesn't like what this country is founded off of then he is free to teach his garbage some where else! This is Mmmerica!!

If you're referring to me as being undereducated, I would advise you to visit my profile. As far as white men that oppressed Native Americans and African Americans, I don't know any of them nor have I ever met any and I would be so bold as to say that you haven't either. Slavery ended well before I was born!

I don't generally down-vote, but being disrespectful to other members here is uncivil, and will get you nowhere in discussions CPL Shannon Smyth.

My Dad used to work at the University of Texas in Arlington, so this is first hand, not a rumor, not something a "friend of my Uncle said he knew some that saw".
First hand experience:
UTA has a high population of Arabic students. On 9/11 they were in the streets publicly celebrating when the towers fell.
Considering that UTA has a great engineering program, IMO we are educating terrorists in ways to more efficiently destroy us.

the only thing I like about the pledge of allegiance is the "under GOD", it shows reverence to the creator,and it hacks off libs. I like that instills nationalism/love of country in our youth. But it is socialist dogma other than the GOD phrase. I prefer the Patriots Pledge...
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution
for the United States of America
and to the Republics which it protects,
one federation, under God,
composed of States,
with Liberty and Justice for all.
here are some of the reasons why I support this too,
"the political ideology of the “pledge of allegiance” does not comport to the true nature and character of the constitution. The constitution of the United States is not “one nation”. It is one federation, composed of States which possess original political sovereignty and which never surrendered the vastness of their power to govern themselves according to their state constitutions."

this is really the one I like.
I Pledge Allegiance to The Constitution
of the United States of America;
and to the Voluntary Union for which it Creates;
One Republic of Sovereign States;
with Liberty and Justice for All.

A professor who attempts to force students to believe as he does is a colossal failure.

Free speech has its' constraints. Even if we accept that right there are limitations. For example if I tell you, you have to write a paper renouncing the country and that your grade depends on being provocative against said nation, then where does it start and stop? Can we force (for a grade) something that is detestable? Especially at the cost of education? I am speaking monetarily here.

Everyone has a right to freedom of speech. If that is a persons views thats ok as long as they do not carry out any violent acts against people let them have their say.

Yes but words can lead to acts of violence. Take some of the comments about Ferguson. Or yelling fire in a theater or threatening someone.

I found this article by John T. Reed, a Harvard Graduate about some of the hyperbole and false constructs in debating and these truths are pretty clear and they are right. Diminishing others is not a good way to start a debate.
