I'm split here CD. I really am. I disagree with the reasoning for the decision, mainly to take the name of God one step further from our government. However, I have always disagreed with the Pledge of Allegiance because of the 'indivisible' and the fact that it was written by a Socialist to further the centralization and belief that the power for the general government was in Washington instead of the state legislatures.

The other issue is that in some instances it has been seen as a replacement for teaching the actual history of this nation, a pledge to a flag instead of the document

Sigh...Time to start pushing for school choice again. Be damned if I allow my daughters to get educated in a education system that doesn't teach them to love their country...

My bet? Put school choice into effect and you'll see an exodus of parents pulling their kids out of any school that goes full speed ahead with this ruling.
