This just came over the transom from Senator Tom Harman's office:

HARMAN CRITIZES STUDENTS’ DECISION TO BAN PLEDGE

Huntington Beach – Senator Tom Harman (R-Huntington Beach) announced today his outrage and disappointment regarding the decision made by Orange Coast students to ban the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Recently, student leaders of Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa said they do not believe in publicly swearing an oath to the American flag and government at their school. They subsequently banned the pledge from their meetings.

“It is disgraceful that the students at Orange Coast publicly denounced the Pledge of Allegiance.”  ,”   remarked Harman. “Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is one way we remember our nation’s founding principles.”

“Americans have made innumerable sacrifices to protect and preserve our great democracy,” Harman commented further. “Their decision chips away at the moral fabric that binds us together and makes this country great. It weakens what so many have fought to protect, and it attempts to undermine a pillar of our foundation.’””

Their actions give Harman an easy way to get his name in the paper. Settle down, chalk it up as a stupid decision made by stupid students which will probably change when new student reps are elected next year. The moral fabric of our country is just fine Sen, Harman...

Looks like State Senator Tom Harman has way too much free time on his hands, doesn't it? I'm more concerned about whether or not the health of my family will be affected by the continued presence of the Ascon Toxic waste dump in Huntington Beach than whether or not a handful of college kids banned reciting the pledge of allegiance.

Toodles:

The only reason you have the ability to question our government about things like toxic waste is because of the pledge of allegiance.

Pretty slow news day I guess
