(MCT) — Kane County sheriff's police assigned a deputy to Mill Creek Elementary School near Geneva on Thursday after a disturbance at the school a day earlier that apparently began with a parent unhappy about how children were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, officials said.

Geneva District 304 officials released a statement late Thursday morning explaining that a parent used "language that is not typically heard in a school setting" in the library in front of a kindergarten class. School officials called police to "minimize the disruption," according to the release.
