A day after thousands of schoolchildren began reciting the revised Texas pledge honoring "one state under God," an atheist couple asked a federal judge in Dallas that the language be immediately removed.
TEXAS PLEDGE The Texas pledge revised by legislators this year now reads: "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible." case.

Do Christians get to get rid of all materials that don’t mention God as promoting athiesm?
Freedom from religion.
My kiddo’s commented on the pledge as well.
It was comforting to them to hear God in the pledge. They loved it.
Freedom is from religion.

Yup, but many of our Libertarian FRiends are as frightened of Christians as they are of leftists. I try to get through to them that the 18th and 19th century liberals that they admire were most often Christians and all lived in a Christian culture.
Wow. You don't hear the name of this scoundrel (Stalin's lapdog) very often!

A bit of a stretch, but I wonder if they are related?
"The definition of a Confederate Republic seems simply to be, an "assemblage of societies" or an association of two or more States into one State. The extent, modifications and objects of the Foederal authority are mere matters of discretion. So long as the separate organisation of the members be not abolished, so long as it exists by a constitutional necessity for local purposes, though it should be in perfect subordination to the general authority of the Union, it would still be, in fact and in theory, an association of States, or a confederacy." - Federalist, no. 9
You need to read some Texas History! We were an independent republic first and we retained the right to become a republic again dividing into 5 states. Our state flag does not have to fly below the US flag.
I know you Yankees like to ridicule us Texans, but we have managed to retain some of the original character that created this great state.
Texas will be the last state to bow before the tenets of the secular progressives or the god of liberalism.
“texas wants atheist couple out of texas.”
how refreshing.
Atheists can live in Texas...but they shouldn’t mess with us. I think this couple does more harm to their kids than the pledge does. They don’t seem to believe in live and let live. They are already setting up their children to become haters.
We should also want to add 'dhimmitude' to our spell checker.
This guy was personally involved in the murders of many clergy.
Better not have God kick out your name in His Pledge.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Then secede if you don’t want to be in the federation that is the United States of America, the Union. Don’t act like because you’re from Texas that you get some special treatment because you don’t. You are one of the 50 subservient states to the US federal government. You are on your knees like everyone else, pal.
It must be miserable being these people.
I hear the Ukrainians really like him for his role in starving to death some 8,000,000 of them during the forced collectivization campaign.
“I have a problem with pledging allegiance to a state. The US is a federation, not a confederation.”
Well, I would too if I lived in New Hampshire, however, Texans (real Texans) have as much if not more loyalty to their state than to the US.
Too simple. Too much common sense. No, we go to COURT!! Sheesh. I know people who ADD words to the pledge of allegiance. They add ...born and unborn after with liberty and justice for all.
