It has always been respected for people like Jehovah's Witnesses that refused to PLEDGE Allegiance, we allowed silence during this important event. So WHY the big deal, if the parents don't want their kids to pledge allegiance...just cough...when others say UNDER GOD. Why make a big fuss?
Because its considered INTOLERANT for the rest of us to not do what the minority insist on.
Because Michael Newdork is a you know what. This teacher will be saying the Pledge with his class.
