Students walk out during Pledge, recite own version
Quote:
About 100 students at Boulder High School walked out after their first class this morning, to recite an alternative Pledge of Allegiance, in protest.
They object to hearing the phrase "one nation, under God" during the morning Pledge recitation, led over the school's public address system.

Quote:
The Pledge recited by the student protesters today went as follows:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag and my constitutional rights with which it comes. And to the diversity in which our nation stands. One nation, part of one planet, with liberty, freedom, choice and justice for all."

Hope it catches on and it returns to how the man who wrote it intended and not the nut-jobs during the 50's raped it to be.
