The Pledge of Allegiance
In 1954, Congress added the words "under god" to the pledge of allegiance. A federal appeals court has ruled that the pledge cannot be recited in public schools because the added phrase is a violation of the separation of church and state.

I just went and had a cig with TooTall, one of my co-workers, who is out of his mind angry at the overly PC climate where we find ourselves. What do you think? Should the pledge be said in school? Yes, there should be separation between church and state, but what about free speech? Should those who feel it appropriate (ok, their parents)
be allowed to congregate and make the pledge? Does it really matter?

I personally think that all children should be taught about a variety of religios beliefs and cultures in school so that they may be better informed to make their own choices. I'm sure a Federal judge would disagree, but I think it should be manditory...like gym or shop. Fine, allow the more closeminded parents to withdraw their children, but at least offer a choice!
