Did you read the same article I did? No matter, I already made this point....nobody has forced anyone to do anything. The fact that kids in a given school customarily stand up and recite a pledge isn't grounds for claiming coresion.

"Forcing" is passing a law and arresting you if you fail to comply.

"Forcing" is putting a gun to your head and giving you an ultimatum.

If you were standing in an assembly it's pretty clear that you wouldn't say the pledge, much less acknowledge God, and you would probably bow wow about the fact that you didn't.

That's what you're doing here, in fact, and nobody has loosed the dogs on you, eh?

Grrrr!
