Reply #3: I remember when in the late 60's the court decided forcing kids to say the pledge violated

[mrcheerful]

kids rights, it went before the court because a number of religious sects had a problem with pledges to anything other then their god. A few educators also had a problem with saying the pledge at the beginning of class because it wasted time that could be spent teaching. Then along came Ronnie Reagan who declared how those evil rat bastards the liberals took the pledge out of the class room and that was why kids weren't learning, funny how R's never seem to connect fact from fiction.
