E.D. was all over him about using his daughter just to bring the suit. He admitted this, and, upon her pressing him, admitted that his daughter includes "under God" when she recites the pledge.Hmmm...so his beef is the school is sabotaging the religious values (how many times have we heard that atheism is a religion?) he's trying to teach his daughter.
How many times have we heard Christians justifiably claim that when some of these lefty teachers start their Earth Day-Gaia modell?
The best approach is this: Drop the words "under God". Use this as a wedge to get the moment of silence to follow the Pledge in classrooms. And use the precedent to get rid of the Earth-worship crap we hear about all the time.

Not to worry. God has a sense of humor. His daughter will probably grow up to be a minister, just as Madeline Murray OHare's son did. At this point,he's just using the daughter as a pawn, and when she's old enough to think for herself (and especially when she rebels against dear old dad), she'll find she has another (heavenly) father who still loves her.
