Yes, but, more importantly, they wrote the First Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Any way you slice it, a public school teacher - who is a representative of the gov't - leading students in a taxpayer-funded institution in a Pledge that includes the words "under God" is establishing religion. You wouldn't want the same teacher to tell students there is no god, would you?

Bullsh*t! I can't be any more blunt than that. A teacher isn't establishing a religion. And even if he or she were to announce that Giaism was now the official religion of the classroom, she would not be in violation of the First Amendment which prohibits Congress alone from making laws which establish a religion or prevent the free exercise thereof.

There are already many Crevos on this site who are up in arms over the fact that evolution is taught in those very same public schools, and whose tenents deny the existence of their God.
