IN the NEWS - "Egyptian" assault on the Pledge of Allegiance


....for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Genesis 46:34


"......the Pledge of Allegiance.
Atheist activists have long opposed the pledge, because reciting it allows for “God” to be invoked in public venues. But there’s another factor at play making the issue even more complex: that public schoolchildren are
often the ones instructed to say it.
And whenever kids are involved in First Amendment disputes, claims of indoctrination over a “captive audience” generally run rampant. The debate over the Pledge of Allegiance is no exception.
LifeWay’s survey data comes as atheist activists are taking new avenues to challenge the recitation. As Religion News Service has noted, using state constitutions to go after the pledge is a relatively new strategic approach — one that is being used in legal challenges in New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Rather than using the U.S. Constitution as their basis, which has failed in the past, the plaintiffs in both cases are claiming that the use of “under God” is a violation of the rights of atheists under state law." TheBlaze
