The board of directors at the Mullis Community Senior Center on San Juan Island decided to revise its lunchtime program by removing the traditional prayer and the recitation of the pledge. The center’s executive committee blamed the prayer and the pledge for a decline in attendance, as I mentioned on the "Todd Starnes Radio Show" Podcast. But even the brave military veterans were not prepared for the community center’s open hostility toward patriots. “And you’re taking away everyone’s choice and right of saying the Pledge of Allegiance.”In response to the outrage, the community center said they would restore the flag to its rightful place. “These senior citizens should be free to pray together before their meal,” senior counsel Roger Byron said.
