When hecklers targeted Celeste Barber for her defense of the Pledge of
Allegiance during a board meeting at a California community college, the
former professor pursued the cause further with a civil rights violation
lawsuit and appeared on Fox News to explain her position.
The former adjunct professor at Santa Barbara City College told “Fox &
Friends”: “What brought us to this point is the college thus far has
refused to acknowledge that my civil rights were violated that day and
that nobody stood up to defend me and, more importantly, to defend the
First Amendment of the Constitution.”
The Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees decided to remove the
pledge because of its “history and symbolism.” After much backlash, they
reversed the decision.
One of the individuals heckling Barber was a colleague.
“I don’t know her personally," Barber said. "She was a professor in the
chemistry department and she just started yelling, screaming within about
30 minutes of me standing up there, simply explaining why I wanted the
Pledge of Allegiance reinstated. I wanted the right to say the pledge at a
public meeting.”
The Pledge of Allegiance has since been reinstated due to a “vocal group”
of “veterans, ordinary citizens, and retirees” who were “incensed” that
Barber was assaulted for defending the Pledge of Allegiance.
“It’s just a joy to see,” Barber said. Among those defending the pledge
was actor Rob Lowe, who spoke out against the removal, saying he was
“humiliated” by the board’s initial decision, which he called "idiocy."
Barber went on to say that the violation of her First Amendment rights, as
well as her right to attend and participate in meetings of local
legislative bodies, also known as the Brown Act, “goes against everything
this country stands for.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
