I think people forget that the guy who brought suit actually has no standing first of all. AND his daughter DOES IN FACT believe in God and is religious and wants to say the pledge.
Anyways, I think he's just a trouble maker looking for attention wasting taxpayer's money. And he's violating his daughter's rights.
Also, why not just make it optional? If you want to say the pledge, with or without the "under God" part? I think that's a good compromise.
I also think we should remove it from the currency. It seems weird to me.
Incidentally, does anyone know if swearing in, taking oaths in public service and in court still include using the bible or the words "so help you God?". I think that would be relevant also.
