If America is so Christian, than it's the "will of the people" to have Christianity taught in the public schools. So why fight the will of the people?

And how can a pledge be unconstitutional, it's a form of speech?

If 99 Christians vote to steal money from 1 atheist to form a "Christian School", it's still THEFT. And Theft is an Anti-Christian violation of the Eighth Commandment.

I'm in favor of my kids (when God sees fit to so bless me) affirming that this Nation... and every Atom in the Universe... is "under God". In fact, I want my kids to affirm that the Universe ain't under some un-named, deistic "God", I want them to affirm that the Universe is under the control of Jesus Christ in particular. "He holds in His nail-scarred hands the destiny of all things".

And I don't want to steal anyone else's money to say so.

Because, said the court, a teacher "forces" pupils to say it, which makes it an "establishment of religion."

America isn't Christian. Some Americans are Christian. Some aren't.

People should be free to keep their hard-earned money so they can purchase exactly the kind of education they want for their children -- one with prayer or one without prayer. One with sex education or one without sex education. One with creationism or one without creationism. The choice belongs to parents, not politicians.
