"The upstate New York town of New Paltz voted last week against reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at its board meetings after one of its members called the Pledge a “total waste of time.”The debate began when board member Amy Cohen, a local business owner and former mayoral candidate, introduced a motion during a Monday meeting that the board recite the Pledge of Allegiance during its bi-monthly meetings as a show of patriotism and respect, according to the New York Post."
