WATCH: ‘Social Justice Commission’ in Virginia Starts Tense With Unannounced ‘Equity Pledge’
The Racial and Social Justice Commission of Prince William County, Virginia held Thursday its first working meeting, where the board members were asked to recite an “Equity Pledge” which had not been circulated beforehand.
The meeting saw a number of tense moments, beginning when chairwoman Shantell Rock requested adding an item to the agenda that would limit commissioners’ speaking time to just three minutes when discussing motions, InsideNoVA reported.
After her motion was passed, Rock proceeded to urge the commissioners and those present in the audience to join her in reciting the “Equity Pledge” that was projected on the screen, only to be interrupted by Coles Commissioner Charles Haddow. . .
ultimately the pledge was not recited because two board members had not received it ahead of time and refused to repeat a pledge they had not agreed on beforehand. Sources at the meeting said the pledge of allegiance was never recited. pic.twitter.com/wBuX6pQKfA

“I don’t know what this pledge is. I’m sure it’s well-intentioned,” Haddow said, according to InsideNoVA. “I didn’t come here to do the exercise that’s team-building instead of examining the issues and disparities.”
“Madam Chair, may I just confirm what you are asking us? Do you want us to recite this?” another commissioner queried after skimming the document, video from the meeting shows. (Read more from “WATCH: ‘Social Justice Commission’ in Virginia Starts Tense With Unannounced ‘Equity Pledge’” HERE)
