No. But I'm not real big on the idea of the Pledge being required by schools, either. And I would prefer the original pledge. But I don't think "under God" refers to any specific God, and if you are an atheist, well, just suck it up. I have no problem with "God Bless America" at the end of the State of the Union, or "God save this Honorable Court" at the beginning of a session.

As I've already made pretty clear, I think these three judges did a hell of a job dealing with most of these issues, and got this one right.

Well Counselor then you have nothing to worry about because it has been against the law to coerce the recitation of the Pledge since Barnette in 1943.
