False Fox News Story About ‘Banned’ Pledge Of Allegiance Results In Death Threats (VIDEOS)
Fox News falsely reported that a South Dakota school board banned saying the Pledge of Allegiance at school. Now board members are getting death threats.
It is well known to many that Fox News serves up lies on a daily basis. Sometimes the lies appear to be blatant distortions or outright falsehoods. Other times they are the result of sloppy reporting. Some of the lies are harmless, some are maddening, and some can prove deadly for those affected by them. What happened afterFox News reported on a Sioux Falls, SD school board decision on saying the Pledge of Allegiance is an example of the latter.
According to Keloland.com, the issue started when Marcus Hicks, a senior at Washington High School in Sioux Falls, wondered why the students did not recite the Pledge Of Allegiance in high school. Hicks posted a comment about it on Facebook. His grandmother saw the comment, and went to a local veterans’ group with her concern. The veterans asked the board to require reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the high school level.
