North Dakota school board gave into hate reinstating Pledge of Allegiance, official says

After being called a slave in a voicemail, Nyamal Dei cast the lone no vote to reinstate the pledge

A Sudanese refugee who sits on the school board in North Dakota’s most populous city at a special meeting on Thursday played a voicemail of a man calling her a salve and accused her colleagues of giving into hate when board members acted to reverse course on its decision to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at monthly meetings.

Nyamal Dei, who fled war-torn Sudan, was also referred to as a racist and Nazi in the profanity-laced message. It was among numerous angry emails and voicemails that dominated the special meeting of the Fargo Board of Education to  today!
