A Massachusetts Family Fights Against "Under God" In The Pledge

Did you know that Jesus is American?

I thought I'd share this article I found about an atheist family fighting the absurdity of having "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

ACTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - An Acton family has reportedly asked a Massachusetts judge to order Acton schools to remove the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. 

The plaintiffs – who are atheists and call themselves the "Does" to protect their identity – claim Acton schools discriminate against atheist children when they say the Pledge. 

The Does argue that schools discriminate against atheist children by taking part in a Pledge that makes them feel “marginalized,” the Boston Herald reports. Superior Court Judge Jane Haggerty will hear arguments Monday in Doe vs. Acton-Boxborough Regional School District.

In Brookline, a group called "Brookline Pax" had asked the town to vote in favor of a resolution calling for the school committee to rescind its Pledge of Allegiance policy and stop the Pledge from being recited in the schools.

This was my tongue-in-cheek comment.

I don't know why people who hate America live in America! I say to all those people who harbor anti-democratic and anti-American feelings to go back to their holy lands where they belong. Long live the Secular Republic!
