I heard the other day in government class that is has almost reached the surpremem court that "under god" is unconstuitional in the pledge. I was shocked. We disscussed this matter in class and I said it was good becuase like most of us know the orginally pledge didn't have "under god" they added it in 1950, and most poeple didn't care one way or another saying that is was stupid to take it out "With about 94% of our country religous it is agaisnt majority rule and way to PC to take it out" said my teacher, I agree with PCness sucking. But I say that if we do have seperation of church and state that shouldn't be there!!!!!
After that my teacher brought up money and how it says "trust in god" and if that should be taken out to, personally i think yes and no. It would cost to much money to change it all and futile. The pledge requires no fincaincing to change.
IN on state they changed it to "under my belief system" a while ago and i brought that up and every one thought it was tacky and took away all meaning.....wait a second I htought the pledge had no menaing in the first place??? So you don't care if it stays the same but if it changes then it sadden and infurates you?? I just don't get people sometimes. I think it should be restored to the orginally and be done with it.
What do you think? (and i think more than 6% of america is atheist....and know like 30-40 poeple just at my school that aren't religous..at all. Of course 90 or so % of my school is morman...god save me ^.^ kidding)
