ok, so this ahteist guy sues because he doesnt want his daughter reciting the pledge, because it says "under god" in it... i have no problem with that, its his right.
however, why cant he just have her not recite it? why does it have to be banned, just cuz his kid is an atheist? (not that an elementary kid can make that decision, but thats a whole other thread)
i mean really, it IS voluntary, no one MAKES u say it... if they do, then yes they should be corrected, but i know in school i was never FORCED to recite it, and i doubt kids are today...
