You made the topic, but didn't pose anything to really debate about (I don't consider "what are your thoughts?" something to debate about).

Something no one has ever mentioned: Ok, so we don't do the pledge in schools, because it has God in it, and not everyone is a Christian. OK, suppose I accept that. If so, then I have the right to challenge teaching evolution in public schools. After all, a lot of people believe in creation, is that not correct? And they don't even let you present creation as an alternative. You absolutely cannot mention it at all. It's hypocritical.

But I do agree that it should be an even playing field.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>We do the pledge in school here too. What wackjob state do you live in?

And to those in the government who abolished prayer, and to those who took down the Ten Commandments, and to those who overturned a case because a juror mentioned a Bible verse.
