Then maybe you should work on improving the curriculum instead of legislating stupid bullshit like this....

Arizona has an 800 million dollar budget surplus. We're in the black when most of the country is in the red. And we're quite busy trying to woo gun manufacturers from the east coast out to Arizona. No sense them staying in a state that doesn't want their products (unless they are for the good of government of course...) As for the legislation, our students come out of our high schools with less knowledge about the constitution and the government of the United States than I care to talk about. I don't necessarily support the oath as it stands, but I wouldn't mind it if they removed the god part. And I don't find it any wackier than the Missouri democrat legislator that thought it would be a good idea to make it mandatory for parents to have to notify the school if they own a gun. None of their damn business...
