They will agree that you cannot FORCE a child to recite it and no repercussions if they refuse likely..

i guess the judge shouldnt be paid with american currency, since it says 'in god we trust'

It will be upheld as unconstitutional, and rightly so. You must remember that public education is GOVERNMENT education, these are government schools. Therefore, they cannot endorse any religion, nor force one to support any group (the US) that one does not choose.

This is why people need to pull their children from gub'ment schools and put them in private education suited to your needs. Parents have handed the raising of their children to the State, and they need to realize that the State's wishes do not always correlate to the parents' wishes.

Push for school vouchers people.

it doesnt endorse any specific religion though. it says, "under god" not "under jesus/viscnu/allah/etc." it is not endorsing any sort of religion at all. what's your opinion on US currency then?

But these liberal dirtbags will spend money that reads "In God We Trust"

 

[Needhelp]

I agree with it.

Did anyone watch Fox News, and hear that dumbass singer (Charlie something - I'm not familar with the guy) was saying?

We had the right to not say the pledge in school, and suffered no repercussions if we did refusing; however, I said the pledge everday because I chose to do so.
