发帖数: 61690 | 1 The newly-elected president of the San Francisco school board skipped the
Pledge of Allegiance at the start of his first meeting.
Stevon Cook instead opened the meeting by quoting poet and author Maya
Angelou: “When you learn, teach. When you get, give.”
“There are a lot of ways to express gratitude and appreciation for the
country and its citizens,” Cook told the San Francisco Gate of his decision
. “This is how I plan to do that.”
The move broke with precedent, but does not appear to have violated any
procedural rules about public meetings. The California education code
mandates that schools conduct a daily patriotic exercise, according to The
Gate, but students are not required to participate, and it is rarely
enforced. |
