Apologies are due to Howard Harper and his big birds. Last week's column reported that "emus" are raised by Harper in the town of Peshtigo. Mistake. Harper says his birds are not "wimpy emus" but their larger cousins, full-fledged ostriches. Both are native to Australia/New Zealand. Emus are pretty big too, but not as large as ostriches. One thing is certain. You wouldn't want to be chased by either one.

Ostriches are native to Africa. A simple Google search would have ascertained that fact. If this is the standard of research that this guy conducts, then I'm not surprised he got the details of the pledge decision wrong.

Congratulations to the powers that be in that school district. They have filed an appeal and will continue having students repeat that forbidden phrase until the next decision. Some school board members have indicated they will keep doing it even if the next ruling goes against them.

It's not forbidden, it's un-Constitutional!!!
