I can see what you're driving towards. It'd be far more ideal for us adults to hash this out, yeah?

I wish they'd remove Under God from the damn pledge of allegiance, but it seems schools are the next major battleground (sometimes literally) for all things political.

You mean bring the pledge back to its original form pre 1954? It wasn't there before, it was added incase people don't know or forgot.

It was written in 1892 without religion

Should get rid of the pledge completely tbh.. Having children pledge allegiance to the country (or, bizarrely, a symbolic piece of cloth) is some North Korea type shit on par with Trump’s military parade..

As a German, let me tell you that it's very much fascist.

That's exactly my point. Insecure religions (including the Satanists) use schools as a battleground for their political goals. It shouldn't be allowed.

Religion should be something that's between the kids and the parents (for better or for worse) until the kids are matured, maybe 16 years old at least.

It's generally been the case that the parents are the most unbiased wellwishers of the kids, something that religious organizations often cannot do.

Insecure religions (including the Satanists)

It's a non-religious group that chose an ironic name. The name is the only part that is even close to "trolling", everything else is dedicated to science and reasoning.

It's generally been the case that the parents are the most unbiased

Hahahahaha. You actually think parents are unbiased? That's hilarious.
