Newdow's Fight Against America

It looks like Michael Newdow has won round one. Wednesday, the Ninth District Court ruled that it was unconsitutional to include the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance when recited in public schools. Judge Karlton said, "The court concludes that it is bound by the Ninth Circuit's previous determination that the school district's policy with regard to the pledge is an unconstitutional violation of the children's right to be free from a coercive requirement to affirm God." I assume that with this politically correct ruling it would only be fair to cease teaching twelve state constitutions that have or imply God. You may also need to stop allowing children to hear tcertain quotes of these great Americans: Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln, John Adams. Shall schools not recognize a national day of prayer issued by the president? Will we strike the word "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence for the sake of not offending someone who doesn't believe?

Newdow's point was that his daughter should not be forced to hear words in school that recognize religion. The statute of Kentucky allows the forcing of children to stand during the morning pledge, but not of children reciting it. I feel this is great legislation. I may not agree with "God" being in the pledge or on our money, but realize that our country was founded on Christianity and faith in accomplishment. If judges start making rulings that strike our founders' basic beliefs, we travel down a political correctness road that does not need to be treaded on.
