Ypsi City Council ditches Pledge of Allegiance: It will no longer be recited to open public meetings, WEMU reports. Councilmember Desirae Simmons introduced the resolution, saying she doesn’t “feel comfortable pledging allegiance to a flag.” Mayor Nicole Brown says she expects the pledge will be replaced with something else such as a moment of silence.
