The Pledge

[Melissa Nute]

To be quite honest, I'm happy they are doing this. The whole "under God thing" makes me cringe every time I had to say it.

We are all under God no matter what

I'm sorry...but not everyone is "under God" The only people "under God" are those who buy into the Christian beliefs. I am not a Christian, and I gladly state that. I'm a Pagan and I'm sick of people trying to "show me the light" and have me see under the Christian way.

A certain religion should NOT be forced onto the elementry, middle, or high school students. Each person should have a right to decide what path is right for them and devise their own beliefs. A govermental system that is based on the "freedom of the people" should NOT tell the citizens of this land what they should agree with. We have a right to freedom of religion in this land and we all should one be allowed to enjoy that, not just deal with what a gov't told us to do.
