Dear God

Props to Edward Myers for defending America's values and true freedom. He and his lawyers took their case against the theocratical school pledge to court. Unfortuneatly, the courts sided with forcing religion on kids in a public, tax funded place like school.

"A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the pledge is a patriotic exercise, not an affirmation of religion similar to a prayer. "

Yes, the pledge may be patriotic (in that scary, obsessive, right wing way) but that does not mean that it can violate childrens rights by saying that the nation is under a Christian God. Saying "One nation under God" is basically claiming that the Christian God is the truth and the way, which is bullshit, in my opinion. If you're Christian, great, keep it to yourself. I don't want to have to bow to your god in a supposed free country.
