Thank "God" For Texas

If you do not like the pledge of allegiance then GET OUT OF MY UNITED STATES! I am tired of you slimy atheist trying to change how 98% of us live out life. Scum bag David Croft does not like the word "god" in the Texas pledge of allegiance that is recited each morning at a PUBLIC school in Carrollton Texas.

Hey Mr. Croft, if you dont like it take your kids out of the public school that I am paying for. Put them in a little screwed up atheist school somewhere. We Texans will not be told what to do and Judge Kinkeade proved that today. The story below can be found HERE.

DALLAS — A federal judge has dismissed the claims of a parent who wanted to remove the words "under God" from the Texas pledge of allegiance recited each morning by public schoolchildren.

U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade ruled Thursday the state pledge may continue to reference God because the national pledge and four other states reference God or divine grace in their pledge, The Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

"A voluntary recitation of the Texas Pledge of Allegiance simply does not coerce students in the same way a school-sponsored prayer might," Kinkeade wrote in his opinion.

David Croft had argued that inserting the words were unconstitutional and amounted to a violation of separation of church and state. He and his wife, Shannon, sued on behalf of their three children who are enrolled at the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District.

Previously, the Crofts unsuccessfully sued after an elementary teacher told one of their children to keep quiet because a minute for silence after the pledge was a "time for prayer."

A provision that took effect September 2003 changed the way schools start their days in Texas. Children are now allowed to "reflect, pray, meditate or engage in any other silent activities" for one minute after the state and national pledges of allegiance have been recited. A federal appeals court ruled last week that the law is constitutional.

Texas, the last great place in these United States.
