Pledge of Allegiance Scrutinized

Everyone seems to agree that flying the U.S. flag and saying the Pledge of Allegiance at Oregon public schools is a good idea. But Andrea Meyer with the ACLUu did point out: “We have felt concern that this law in vulnerable to a challenge because the pledge does evoke “God” and our Oregon constitution. It has a particular provision: no money shall be drawn from the Treasury for the benefit of any religious or theological institution.” She says the State should use the original pledge which did not include the word “God.” The issue is in Legislative committee.
