Acton family wants the Pledge of Allegiance changed...

[FishermanTim]

to remove "under God" because of their athiest beliefs.

How about we remove the athiest from the school because it conflicts with the religious beliefs of the other 99.999% of the students in the school?

What gets me is that the parents are raising a big stink because the school says the pledge each morning, and for some unknown reason they feel that it somehow has a lasting and negative effect on their kids.
What it has is probably a lasting and negative effect on their bank account! How long before they file a civil liberties lawsuit claiming discrimination and torment for their beliefs? How long before they end up on some "Jetty Springer" talk show?

All I can say is that if the pledge of allegiance is causing YOUR kids so much trouble, why don't you take them out and HOME-SCHOOL them? Why should the majority have to suffer because of the few?
Why not just have the kids taken out into the hall and make them cover their ears so they can't even HEAR the word "GOD" by chance?

Sure, I believe that this family has every right to believe what they want, but if they chose this school without doing THEIR homework, then I say "How does it feel to be so stupid"?
