[quote]A family is suing a New Jersey school district, contending that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is discriminatory toward atheist children. [/quote] I am so sick of hearing these people bitch about NOTHING. There are two problems with their bullshit. A. You are under no circumstances forced to do the pledge. If your teacher/school forces your child you can always take it up one step further but the problem should be resolved before it even reaches the Advisory Board. And the most important part where their entire argument falls apart: B. The phrase "Under God" was not added to the pledge as a religious addition. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance#Addition_of_.22under_God.22]It was added in honor of President Lincoln from his Gettysburg Address.[/url] Educate yourselves before you start crying about things you don't understand. Or are you going to say that anything Religious in American History is against your freedom from religion? Because that's a whole new section of bullshit I can go on all day about. Stay mad, I'm not even a Christian. I'm not too worried though, the courts have struck down their idiocy time and again for not paying attention to the facts, I'm sure this time it wont be much different. It's a shame though that no one tries to educate them on the facts so more and more people continue to bitch about nothing and keep making false statements like: [quote]Second of all, due to the separation of church and state and the 1st ammendment, God shouldn't be in the pledge of Allegiance.
