"God"-less Pledge stirs Jeffco school backlash
At a middle school in Colorado, a woman leading the Pledge of
Allegiance decided to improve it and make it more - gag - "inclusive"
by rewording it:"Eighth-grade counselor Margo Lucero, filling in for absent principal
Kathleen Norton, changed a portion of the Pledge from "one nation under
God" to "one nation under your belief system," while on the public-
address system Wednesday morning."Believe it or not, some people took exception to this. Go figure.

As I pointed out elsewhere, what the heck kind of sense does it make to pledge your allegiance to something and then affirm that "it may or may not be under something which does or does not exist, depending on your opinion and mine's probably different from yours?"
Can't you only affirm things that are definite and real? (scratching head)
