Lucero said she didn't intend to be offensive but rather wanted to mark the sixth anniversary of the Columbine High School slayings by evoking a sense of tolerance.
"Given the anniversary of Columbine, it was a spur-of-the- moment choice that I made, intended to acknowledge differences that lie in our society," Lucero said. "It's not a reflection of the district, and it was not my intention to offend anyone, rather to include (everyone)."
My memory of the Pledge at school is dominated by the Jehovah's Witness boy who very politely but DIFFERENTly sat through it every morning, and paid for it dearly every afternoon on the way home. At least he only lived two blocks from school so the harassment was short.
The elementary school teacher of the family, Mom, though that unless you could teach the kids what the Pledge and other such creeds MEANT they were just mouthing empty words. Ah, the idolatry of flag worship.
