My daughter just told me that they no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance in her school. We live in texas and this past week she said that they just did the announcements and that was all. She said they haven’t said why they stopped saying the Pledge either. Who else has experienced this happening to a school near you?

Diversity aside, if ya can't say "I pledge allegience to the flag of the United States of America".. one should leave America. And if some parents don't want their kids to say "one nation under God" (not Jesus, not Yahweh, or Jehovah) then I'm sure their kids will not be forced to say it. Going to the law and making everyone not to say it however, when it is a cultural tradition, is an imposition. And yes they do teach our children that they 'evolved' from fish, and worse yet, from monkeys. And the same ones don't see the correlation between that and a dysfunctional, decaying society. Where folks are NOT 'evolving' but are becoming just as they are taught, animals. I believe the undermining of america in this and many other ways, has been intentional, and is from forces outside of the U.S. As propaganda, then yes, folks act on their own. The atheists are trying to force their belief upon us, then they claim it's proven through science and it's far (very far) from it. Imagine if a christian went to law trying to force their belief on them!! Don't tell me they're teaching christianity in the schools. Any other religion, yes, and a wild theory/fairy tale they teach as absolute fact. A teacher can-lose-their-job for bringing up any of the many-questions concerning this theory. Which by the way, in atheistic scientific circles does not mean a "theory' anymore. They've changed the meaning of the world, which was one of the things in H.G. Wells' book "1984" about Big Brother.
science or a faith?

They don't do the pledge in our schools either here in Kentucky atleast not the one my little sister goes to. I think it is something that they should bring back. Yeah alot of parents and people were against it and that is what made it disappear. Because I guess it had the word God in it and for those who didn't believe in him fault to have it taken out of schools. It's a shame though.

Some of the schools will be doing this due to the fact that in the allegiance is the words "UNDER GOD" ...that some people are offended with the word GOD in there..that is why pray and all other events and thing with religion has been taken out of the public...Isnt it strange how they take things like this out due to the fact a small group feel offended...WHAT ABOUT US THAT ARE NOT OFFEND AND WANT GOD IN OUR LIVE AND BACK IN PUBLIC...do they think about that...guess majority rule does not work anymore

thoughtprocess, It's illegal, actually, to have a state faith called evolution.
a science or a faith?

It's separation of church/faith/belief and state. And the forgotten second part to that, no infringement upon the free exercise thereof.. faith, that is. So you believe we're animals, and others have the right to not have that faith enforced upon them.

It's an enforcement of the state religion, which is 'scientific' atheism, which (surprise!) is very (very) far from being proven, indeed there's lots of scientific evidence against it, and more and more all the time.
Don't be fooled. There's a state religion alright. And it's getting more and more so everyday. And this strange new belief and faith is responsible for the state of society/crime/etc.
Just a few proofs against 'scientific' atheism - a study I did, which really opended my eyes:

Stay safe! Sadly, the more this takes hold, the less safe any of us are in society (school) or even our homes.

I think God is a gentelmen, he will silently leave the school arena if we ask him to. But then people ask what is wrong with our schools. They might remember we told GOD to get out of them. Just like we tell him to get out of weverything, then people ask why does God let this stuff happen.
I think if we would just leave GOD where GOD needs to be we might not have as much trouble as we do.
