That is not his position. I'm not sure if I agree with him or not, but I certainly see his argument.
This mans beef is that it is being said at all.
That sounds like your opinion. It certainly is not what I heard him say on FOX news this afternoon.
I am not sure what you heard but it is not my opinion. To quote what he said in the SF Chronicle. "Even though his daughter wasn't forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, it was wrong to require her to listen to it when she doesn't believe in it, he said."
I read somewhere else that the school offered to let her leave the classroom but that was not good enough. BTW He filed this suit in Florida previously it was thrown out because at the time his daughter was not even of school age. He filed another suit in Florida in 1997, seeking to strike the words "in God we trust" from U.S. currency.
Maybe you misheard or maybe he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. But that is his position and not my opinion.
