Substitute Teacher Comes up With New Pledge

[Bonnie]

A substitute principal at a middle school in Colorado has a new Pledge of Allegiance that she shared with students, one that is more inclusive and won't cross that line between church and state, according to the Denver Post.

During the morning pledge at Everitt Middle School in Wheat Ridge, eighth-grade counselor Margo Lucero, who was filling in for an absent principal, changed a portion of the pledge from "one nation under God" to "one nation under your belief system," while on the school public-address system.
Lucero says she meant well.

"I said that because I believe that there should be separation between church and school," she said. "I believe that everybody should have their own beliefs and that we shouldn't have to say, 'under God.'"

i wonder what she uses for money

Euro duh... Their money says "In the state we trust"

 

[Yurt]

what the hell does "one nation under [your belief] system" mean?

I believe in no taxes.

Or does it mean free from religious connotations?

I think the latter.

My question is this:

What if this sub were Muslim and interjected something with Islam?

Much sarcasm!!!!
