Oh God...
Wonder what this ruling will start? Reminiscent of the California ruling that barred the pledge being said in a school classroom (later struck down by the SCOTUS).
Even though I am a firm advocate for the separation of Church and State this ruling is ridiculous and should be overturned. Reciting the pledge of allegiance has been an American tradition since 1954, and its not comparable to a judge placing a monument of the 10 Commandments in an Alabama courthouse. Just because the recitation of the phrase "one nation under God" offends a select few does not mean that it should be removed. Unless someone's rights are being violated, the will of a minority should not change the law of the majority.
