Wasn't it ruled that the 14th amendment applied the Bill of Rights to the states? Given that, you have state run schools requiring the pledge, which is probably a reason for the ruling.
I'm willing to bet that even if they removed "under God," the radical Leftists would object to students being required to pledge their allegiance to the republic.
I'm sure they would object to that as well.
So if the 14th amendment applied the Bill of Rights to the states, then if means that state legislatures cannot establish a state religion.
Big freakin' deal.
I am getting very intolerant of militant atheists.
See post 102. The left is trying to say that it is unconstitutional to say the pledge in ANY form in a school (Nationalism as a religion arguement)
