[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thoughtchopper: [QB] [QUOTE] His problem is that they made her "watch and listen as her state-employed teacher in her state-run school leads her classmates in a ritual proclaiming that there is a God". [/QUOTE]You're right. That DOES make sense. But there's a flaw in it, too. MOST people want their kids to say the pledge with "under God" in it. (I'm not one of them, but it is true.) The majority of people in this country want it left in there. Why does one person get to change it for everybody else? That doesn't make sense. Things like that should be left at home, not imposed on the entire country. I'm tired of small idealogical minorites (even one I'm a part of) being allowed to dictate their position on the Majority. If this is a true country "For the People" then the Majority stands. Atheist kids can be allowed to stand out in the hall during the pledge, so as to not "contaminate" them with ideas of God, if that's some kind of real danger. I don't think it is. I said the plege everyday at school until the fifth or sixth grade. Didn't bother me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
