Fortunately a growing number of public schools have recognized the
religious *******ization of "the pledge" and have dropped it from
morning student activities. Religious expressionism has no place in the
public schools.

Actually they have dropped the whole pledge. Patriotism is seem as a
bad thing these days.

I don't see any connection between reciting that pledge and patriotism.
Had the pledge been adopted by Congress in 1842 instead of 1942, do you
think its recitation would have kept the Southern states from seceding?

No but I think it was part of the patriotism that defeated the nazis
and the nips.

It gave a lot of us an appreciation for what we have here....
