- How specifically? If it's the part about "under God", that was Congress'
- doing. :) If you object to the pledge as a whole, perhaps you can
- sympathize with those parents who object to the COTR curriculum.

- So you would prefer that the pledge be presented later, say during
- the Super Bowl, or an Inauguration? "Deconstructed" by a federally funded
- professor of feminist literature as a tool of WASP oppression of the masses,
- perhaps? Scrapped altogether because of its effect on "family values"?

- Just curious,
