the company got the money. coincidence i m sure. no police action group in brookline, massachusetts, wants to ban this from the classroom. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america. the group slams the pledge of allegiance says it has no educational value and reminiscent of horrific totalitarian regimes. the kids disagree. i think its a good way of kids symbolizing their country. i don t get why they would ban it. kind of seems odd to me. brookline officials will take up the resolution in november. we ll give you the results. we want to bring in now someone that has strong opinions about the pledge of allegiance as well as the president s jobs speech. former speaker of the house newt gingrich live in manchester, new hampshire. newt, great to see you this morning. what do you think about brookline, massachusetts and the pledge of allegiance may be going away?
