"A state law just implemented in September requires the pledge or the national anthem, daily, in every school. Instead of allowing the schools to choose, the school board settled on an instrumental version of the national anthem. "It says, "In God we trust," right there, so I don't agree at all with that," J.J. Sprague of South Milwaukee said.

State-funded schools do not have the freedom to choose anything. They have to follow the law that has been duly passed by the legislature.

Also this Clymer should remember just who really pays his salary, i.e. the State's taxpayers. If the taxpayers had a problem with the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, it would never have become law in the first place.

AMEN. And I admire your FReep-handle.

Poetically fitting.
