Only a class of fourth-graders could have done better.
That's assbag.
And, again, can anybody tell me how to upload a profile pic?
Our principal would hit the feedback button on the intercom and listen in to classes to make sure students were prayingbeing silent, and would penalize teachers if they didn'tweren't.
After that shift, I snapped upright and said my pledge so I could have an excuse not to sit with my head down. "But I said my pledge!" I'd say. It worked in the three years I was under the reign of this heinous school prayer policy.
She was crazy. Crazy crazy woman from Temple, TX.
I just leave the "under God" part out, which isn't supposed to be there anyways.

Something's screwy here. I don't get a "profile" link in Mozilla OR IE either one.
1) It was first written in 1892 (quite a while after the American Revolution, for those teabaggers asserting some sort of call to return to the days of the Founding Fathers)
2) It's been revised at least four times.
3) It was originally done accompanied by the Bellamy salute (named after Francis Bellamy, the pledge's author), which was changed in 1942 to the current hand-over-heart gesture since it looked exactly like the Nazi salute. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_sal…)

Not to mention the fact that so many of those little flag lapel pins and little plastic hand-wavey flags are manufactured in a Communist country...
"with liberty, and justice, to all middle-age, middle-class, white, christian, straight (closeted), men."
hey that's fair, I'm sketchy about the "under god" part.
Don't forget that "under God" was added in the McCarthy era to combat Communism and atheism. The original version doesn't contain it at all, much to the chagrin of the Jeebus nuts.
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to* the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
I get so fucking tired of them acting as though they own the rights to patriotism and the Deed of Trust to Heaven.

Why, if they respect MY FLAG, do they still insist on displaying the traitorous symbol real Americans destroyed in the 1860's. Amazing, how stupid these people are to follow bigoted windbags like Akin.
