Subject: Pledge, "under God", WWJD? |
Bible Note: My concern is that if the Supreme Court decides that congress' act to insert "under God" is unconsitutional, how many Christians will respect that ruling by acting in a manner that reflects WHY the court reached that decision. Yes, you are free to say "under God", but don't skirt the issue by saying that you're not coercing others to say it with you. For all practical purposes, young students are completely powerless to oppose what the teacher makes them do in class. Regarding your persecution in high school, I suspect that it was not the content of your speech, but rather the time, place and manner you delivered it that got you in trouble. From my experience here at a university, I suspect your persecutors would suggest you were disrupting the institution. Not that I agree, but that's how I expect they justified their actions agains you. |
