If only they hadn't said "pledging." I guess pledge is the more universally understood term, but it still irks me every time I read it.

Also interesting that the newspaper gave the names of suspects under age 18. They don't do that around here.
The world understands "pledge" and a story like this isn't the right one to use to educate the world about our program. Besides, the papers will use whatever words they want regardless of the sensitivities of those involved. Someday, in a quiet room after a meeting at GA or LS, ask me about the arson case in Texas.

If the kids are charged as adults their identity is fair game in most places.
