Funny that "under God" didn't appear in the Pledge until 1954 and the reason then was political not religious.

If you want your child taught religion, fine, but do it at church or at home. If you want your child taught science, then evolution MUST be taught in the schools.

For the religious right, PROVE that God even exists. You can't, unless you quote your own scripture-- the argument would go something like, "God exists because the Scripture in which I believe SAYS God exists." SO illogical. And finally, please learn that "God" is capitalized out of respect, "allegence" is spelled "allegiance" and "forfathers" is "forefathers. You can't reason, and you can't spell.report abuse

I completely agree with Kimberly. Also a graduate of Madison and having excellent teachers such as Ms. Bourassa- who taught outside of the box and always more than what she believed- I too agree that much of science is theory and all aspects need to be taught and shared.report abuse
