The following post from Kevin Drum is just too good to pass up. Here it is verbatim:
=====================
FOLLOWING YOUR CONSCIENCE....Everitt Middle School guidance counselor Margo Lucero decided to make a wee change to the Pledge of Allegiance on Wednesday. Here it is:
One nation, under "your belief system"....
And so the worm turns. After all, if it's OK for biology teachers to decline to teach evolution and for pharmacists to refuse to dispense certain medications, why shouldn't teachers have the right to modify the pledge for reasons of personal conscience?
It's quite a little rabbit hole we have here, don't we?
=========================
Thanks, Kevin!
