Pledge of Allegiance Case

Published on November 4, 2003 By Z06Leonhart In WinCustomize Talk

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the Pledge of Allegiance - with its phrase "one nation, under God" - is something students should be allowed to say in public schools.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco shocked many Americans when it ruled on June 26, 2002, that the words "under God" render the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional.... http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=\Nation\archive\200310\NAT20031014d.html

I think a lot people know about this case. It has been a while but now the Supreme Court have decided to hear the case. My class will have a debate on this next week. I just want to know what the adult think about this case.

Why can't this issue be left to the individual school to decide?

in my school they used to do the pledge every morning, then moved it to only at Assembly.

In High school it was just at assembly.

The pledge of allegiance isn't really a 'pledge'. It is not that serious unless you are taking public office.

The under God reference to me is very general, was added for political reasons (and apparently will be removed for the same), and somewhat is more filler than a actual belief in God itself.

In God we Trust on money also is not a big deal. Notice credit card do not say In God We Trust.

I know I am over simplifying but I just feel this is not as big a deal as it is being made to be.

left mother mather with orders for the wild weasel squadron at khorat, thailand. a major with friends stole my assignment. i was offered choice of a "safe" assignment ( B-52H, Minot north dakota) or a combat assignment ( spectre gunships, ubon, thailand). in effect, i had to choose between being a stone's throw from vietnam and being a stone's throw from canada. decided that getting shot at for one year beat getting slowly frozen for four years. ( gunships draw less antiaircraft artillery fire than most other combat aircraft anyway, for obvious reasons).

did i forget to say the pledge this morning? ( does that query get me back on topic?)
jafo - the thuds still fly my screen periodically. thanks again for the art.
