Pledge Of Allegiance Country
485 wordsTo me the Pledge of Allegiance is a tool of propaganda used by the US government. Why would they have kids say it everyday in school since kindergarten if they dont even know what all the words mean?

Establishment Clause School System
740 wordsSuspending Christ from the School System I believe there is a connection between no prayer in our school system and its inevitable fall from grace.
