I keep seeing ridiculous posts on Facebook from friends and others wanting us to "get back to or Christian roots" and to have our children "start saying the pledge of allegiance every morning like they did" or "it says UNDER GOD right on it!" People are silly. We are a diverse nation with diverse people. "under god" was not placed in the pledge of allegiance until the 50s! Also, to force or children to say anything is a breach of the constitutional right to free speech. Just because they are children doesn't mean you can force speech upon them. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that these rights only apply to mentally competent adults (if it did there would be a whole lot of people without rights). Chime in with your take.
