I have a question about the Pledge ruling...Does that apply to private schools also?

Interesting question and I only have an opinion, not fact in the way of an answer.

At our grandson's school, they recite the Pledge to the U.S. Flag, the Christian Flag, and the Bible.

Now do you suppose that these kindergarten through high school students are smarter and wiser than the 9th Court Justices? Do you believe for even a second that the sanity of the 9th will be accepted by these students? I don't think so. These kids and teachers, I hope, are not going to accept being able to pledge to the Christian Flag and the Bible without also pledging to Old Glory.

What would happen if students throughout the 9th district, or the whole country if it comes to that, question their teachers as to why they can't say the pledge? How is a teacher or administrator going to explain in terms that these youth will accept? A simple "It's the Law" will not satisfy the multitudes, I'm sure.

The Bible tells that "A child shall lead..." Perhaps it's time for a child to lead the nation.

Supposedly the suit was brought because one child "felt bad" for having to say God.

Well, what about the majority who feel bad because they now can't say it?

Boy, It's a good thing we don't have cats. I'm so upset I need to go kick something.

End of rant - for now.

Nice job Dave - go find a dim/lib/pc idjit to kick.

What these witless wonders don't understand that this
country, and it's Declaration of Independence stand for
is the right to have the freedom to PURSUE happiness.

Pursue happiness however the indivual can find it in
his life. No where can the guarantee of how anyone feels
be found. Nor should it be. What a crock of pc goofiness.

I have been out running errands and listening to Dr. Laura on the car radio. Guess this does not apply to private schools as she read an article urging all Americans to take their children out of the public schools and either homeschool them or send them to private religious schools. Article said leave the public schools to the atheist and let them argue over condom training and all that other nonsense that goes on there. Sounded good to me...
