Judge: School Pledge Is Unconstitutional
[[ Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was ruled unconstitutional Wednesday by a federal judge who granted legal standing to two families represented by an atheist who lost his previous battle before the U.S. Supreme Court. ]]
You just gotta love those wacky, arrogant, elitist, atheistic, anti-American judges. I'll say one thing for them: they do have nerve.
On a bright note, this sort of thing is exactly what we need ordinary Americans to see... it really helps illustrate the point that Conservatives always make about "activist judges." It is doubly valuable in this time of Supreme Court appointments.
This better be slapped down fast.

It won't stand. But its very sad that it has even got this far.
Just remember that most of the teachers in CA are part of one of the biggest and most corrupt unions in the country and many of them long ago sold their souls.
Tsar,
You have mentioned that you are a grade school teacher in the Fresno area, correct? We are a bit outside of the s.f. bay area and just this year, our children's school is changing their grading system from the normal letter grades to a numerical grading system. Sounded o.k. at first if a 4 would be the equivalent to an A for example, but upon further review I found that to get a 4, the child needs to score a 99% or higher. To recieve a 3, the child needs to score between an 80% to 98%. This seems ludicrous to me and I asked the superintendent about it. His answer was that all of the schools in California will be changing to this new grading system. Is there any truth to this? Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated. I am actually pondering home schooling because I don't know what else to do at this point.
Sorry, I disagree... I think the court made a wise decision. The words "under god" make it a recited declaration about belief in God.
iwanski: What it really makes is a recited declaration of ALLEGIANCE. The words "under God" are a pronouncement of a fact that cannot be argued.
Founded on Judeo-Christian values and overwhelmingly populated with God fearing people, America is, indeed- for all intents and purposes- "under God." That is, by the way, not contingent upon your- or anyone else's- approval. It is merely a fact.
So you see, the recitation of those two words is simply incidental to the pledging of loyalty to the country.
Let go of your fear, Amigo- the big, bad Christians are not going to hurt you.
Tsar! Shhhhh...!!! Must lull them into a false sense of security so we can spring the Christian trap on them!!
