I don't know how wide-spread the debate is yet, or how much y'all know, but in the past couple of days the heated debates have begun.
Is the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional? Well technically yes, but then so is our currency, and so are our national, patriotic songs and a whole bunch of other things. However, should it be so unconstitutional that someone sues the state because his daughter's 2nd grade class stood to up to Voluntarily say the pledge of allegiance, and he didn't feel she should Have to Choose to Not Participate.
Personally, I think it's a load of bull, and I'm tired of always enabling people to take advantage of a country designed to enhance personal freedomes and liberties. If you believe in god, and you feel that pledging your allegiance to the USA should be done in your personal deities name (God, Allah, etc) than great!! If not, then Don't say that line!!! It's a personal choice, choose to personally say or not say how you pledge your allegiance.
Okay, I have a whole lot more to say, but i'm super riled up right now, and would probably say more than I actually, rationally intend to.
This was meant to be a poll....hopefully I can make the "poll" part happen!
