    that's splitting hairs, it's still a creepy mandatory indoctrination speech. Fun fact, the "under god" part was added in 1954 because of pressure from the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization. The idea was to distinguish Americans from the scary evil godless commies. The initial Francis Bellamy version didn't have a mention of god, even though the guy was a Baptist minister.

    shouldn't be in schools, get it out.
