‘Anti-American Disgrace’: CO Mayor Bans Reciting U.S. Pledge At Meeting. Attendees Say It Anyway

A Colorado mayor received instant pushback after announcing a ban on the Pledge of Allegiance at a trustee meeting last week.

Silverton Mayor Shane Fuhrman announced during a meeting on June 14 that the Pledge of Allegiance would no longer be said at the start of every meeting because of the “general divisiveness” the pledge apparently created in the Silverton community.
