Actor Rob Lowe has called a California school board’s decision to ban the Pledge of Allegiance from its meetings as “idiocy,” after they were forced to back down from their assertion that “one nation under God” is steeped in “white nationalism.”

The former Brat Pack star wrote in a tweet that he felt “humiliated for Santa Barbara City College, making national news for their idiocy.”
