Mayor faces revolt after banning Pledge of Allegiance; rogue element recites it anyway, gets ‘one strike’ warning
June 22, 2021 | Tom Tillison

The mayor of Silverton, Colorado found himself being challenged after unilaterally suspended the practice of saying the Pledge of Allegiance during board meetings.

More and more, the anti-American sentiments of some politicians take center stage in the performance of their duties. Mayor Shane Fuhrman cited “direct and indirect threats” on Monday in justifying the action.

“Due to direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings, and the general divisiveness this is creating in our community, we will not be doing the Pledge of Allegiance during town of Silverton board of trustee meetings,” Fuhrman said, according to KDVR-TV.

Silverton Trustee Molly Barela wasted no time in objecting to the “unilateral” decision.

“We already discussed this as a board, and any other unilateral decisions we need to know about?” the trustee asked.
