Gel I don't think you understand the reasons why it happend. It has nothing to do with the pledge itself, but working in one section of the pledge that was added in the McCarthy era - the words Under God. In other words its due to a very minor thing (at least to the fundies) that of separation of church and state. To quote the article:
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled that the pledge's reference to one nation "under God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God." Moreover the courts have affirmed time and time again that Freedom of Religion also means freedom from religion. larry On 9/14/05, Vivec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Lol.. > > can things get any worse over there? > What's next? > Banning the Decleration of Independence?? > > Or the how about the grand finale..Outlawing your Constitution from > being taught. > > > On 9/14/05, G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From Abcnews.com: > > > > "Breaking News: Federal Judge delcares it unconstitutional to recite pledge > > of allegiance in public schools." > > > > No other details yet, and this hasn't appeared on the other major news > > outlets yet. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:174153 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
