The phrase "one nation..." had nothing to do with the founding

the Declaration, or the Constitution. It was shoved into the "pledge"

Harry, are you just *trying* to promote friction?


Harry is right, I was in the DC public school system when they added
"under god" to the pledge of allegiance. We said that every day, right
before the lord's prayer.


Our grammar school dumped the prayer and the pledge was dumped during
junior high.



I can remember doing both in grammar school. You could tell who were
the Catholics and who were the Protestants because the end of the Lord's
Prayer was different.
