In other words, the ACLU and its plaintiffs are just plain anti-American and they want to get rid of the Pledge for the sake of getting rid of the Pledge.
To the drugged up, warped senses of the ACLU, citizenship appears to be a rotting, archaic concept. National unity and patriotism are outmoded values. Duty, honor, and country are the relics of dead generals that have yet to be sued out of school history books in some not-too-distant lawsuit campaign. Liberty is to be replaced with license.....

ACLU is truly evil. Through judges who are corrupt or supporters they were able to prohibit totally voluntary, nonsecterian prayer at VMI.

To the ... ACLU, citizenship appears to be a rotting, archaic conceptThe ACLU is a den of hissing liberals, and their goal is in part to destroy the very notion of citizenship. The destruction of our free society and the Constitution is the overall goal, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it. They are succeeding, too. Observe the ongoing conflict over the separation of church and state, where liberal interpretation (aka judicial activism) has caused the phrase "congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion" to encompass all levels of government right down to municipal. Note that this at the same time usurps what's left of the Tenth Amendment.
The ACLU is nothing more than a shill for liberal/socialist/communist justices and judges that legislate from the bench. The most blatant of these IMHO is the recent decision by the SCOTUS striking down Texas' anti-sodomy law, based partly on laws and attitudes in Europe.

There was a blurb in the local news (Nasville) yesterday how the local ASLU was sending out letters to "remind" schools against having school lead prayer. The only reminder they meant for them to be was a reminder that the ACLU is still there ready to manufacture a lawsuit and intimidate the schools into denying God.
I hope the pig that runs the local ACLU dies a screaming, firey death.

They are also trying to get rid of all references to
religion (specifically, the christian religion) in
public places.

They are also trying to get rid of all references to religion (specifically, the christian religion) in public places. Rather specifically. Some years ago the city of Seattle wasted taxpayer money to have a map of "ley lines" drawn for the city. Apparently, according to this report, the map is on public display. And even though such a New Age occult thing is likely offensive to Christians, Jews, Muslims and I don't know what else... there was no protest at all from the ACLU.

If you wish to pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth, I can live with that. But to stick you religion in there is asking too much. While we all share the same country, not all of us are beholden to your God and don't appreciate the assumption we are.

The problem is, the 1st amendment clearly states
"CONGRESS shall make no law"
There is NO provision in the Constitution that says what the states may or may not do. This is a Federal Constitution and it's design was to control and limit the Federal Government.
The 10th amendment plainly states that all powers NOT SPECIFICALLY DELEGATED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES AND TO THE PEOPLE RESPECTIVELY.....
The Federal Judge was not only wrong he was FLAT wrong. Whether you believe in what Roy Moore was doing or not is immaterial. The Judge and the Feds have been wrong for far too long and WE have let them be that way.
One of these days we will wake up to that fact and the 3rd war of Independence will be FAR bloodier than the 2nd.
