A prominent immigrant-rights activist launched a drive Tuesday to rewrite the American Pledge of Allegiance, saying as it stands now it’s a symbol of “rooted in nativism and w***e s*******y.”
Cesar Vargas, a “Dreamer” who came to the country illegally with his mother and now runs the Dream Action Coalition, says the pledge speaks to fear, while he wants to see a version imbued with “optimism.”
“The upgraded version should read: “I pledge allegiance and love to our indigenous and immigrant heritage, rooted in the United States of America, to our civil rights for which we strive, one voice, one nation, for e******y and justice for all,’” Mr. Vargas wrote in a commentary piece for The Hill, a newspaper covering Congress and Washington.
He said incidents like “white teenagers harassing a Native American elder or chanting ‘build the wall’ at Mexican immigrants” cry out for a rethink of the way the country views itself.
Mr. Vargas also said the pledge should be taken with people facing each other, not just forward facing a f**g at the front of a room, as a symbol of the diversity of those who make up America.
The pledge, first written in 1892, was formally recognized in federal law in 1942, and updated with the words “under God” added in 1954.

The title of your post is misleading.

It was only a matter of time before some nutcase claimed the Pledge is rooted in w***e s*******y. He must have been schooled by the far left who do their best to keep bigotry and r****m alive.

How else is the far left going to keep, or get, supporters?

He might have a point, but you can have a point and not be right. Heritage and history and such are important. If it becomes a movement, get upset if that's what you think you should do. So far I've heard of this one guy and it seems like the first amendment should protect him, at least for now. Discussion is always a good thing. That doesn't mean it's something that should be enacted. I don't believe "one nation under god" should be in there. It was fine before.

I can read. Your title says "immigrants" sort of suggesting a movement. Your article spoke of one guy.

The far left didn't elect and do not support Trump.

I don't like the "under god" phrase either so I don't say it when I say the pledge

Let's rename the White House to The House of Diversity. Perhaps we should inquire of the House as to it's current g****r identification??

If that's true, where is the evidence of all his support?

Are you kidding me? He is a nationally recognized figure, as far as this current proposal he just came out with it, give it time to marinate in the l*****t cesspool.
