Not surprising another thing like that comes out of Cali. And I'm not surprised that Michael Newdow has decided to keep this going. I readily expected both.

When I was an instructor I observed several student teachers and I happened to observe several instances where one student chose to decline to stand and recite the pledge. Only one in the room, and I saw it several times with several different people. Maybe 3 times. Not only did no one intimidate or coerce any of these single, non-pledging students, no one even paid any attention. They didn't care! I mean this argument that an optional pledge is coercion or intimidation is baloney. If we're going to stop everyone from saying it because one person does not want to say it, who are we infringing upon here?

I sure hope this is overturned and I hope this issue is settled. I don't see anything wrong with the pledge and I believe it to be constitutional and I see nothing wrong with "under God."
