Reply #185: Does the government have the right to Alienate Children [View All]

[Solon]

based on religion? Atheistic, Agnostic, and other children are being alienated daily by an unnecessary ritual that at best is conterproductive. Whether they opt out or not is not the point, why retain two words that exclude up to 20-30% of the population? This includes all non-religious and religious minorities that have differing views of either the existence or nature of God, or use of pledges to the flag.
