Did You Know ?

Snapshot: Madison, Wisconsin
On Monday, October 8,2001, liberals running the Madison Metropolitan School District voted three to two to ban schools from leading children in the Pledge of Allegiance.

They didn't just ban the Pledge, though. They also banned schools from singing the words to "The Star Spangled Banner."

Fortunately, there was a public outcry against the school board's actions. In the end-under great public pressure and after more than eight hours of raucous and pasionate chants of USA, USA ,USA- the Madison school board voted six to one in favor of lifting the ban and letting schools lead kids in saying the Pledge or singing the national anthem.
