I recited the Pledge ever single day of elementary school. We also sand 'My Country Tis of Thee'. Just waiting for THAT to be shot down. Is nothing sacred?

I recited the pledge every day of elementary school during the forties. We never said "under God" and it never lessened the value or the meaning of the pledege that we took. Ours was a pledge to our flag and our country, and it still is. This is nothing but a tempest in a teapot.

Just a review, here:
My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty
of thee i sing
land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride
from every mountain side let freedom ring

Hmmmm....I'm not seeing anything here referencing a particular religion. I think this one's safe.

THINK! READ THE RULING! The entire pledge has NOT been struck down, only TWO WORDS added in 1956.

*Restore the pledge to its pre-Eisenhower condition representing ALL Americans!*
