ARGH! WTF!!!!!!
"Karlton, ruling in Sacramento, said he would sign a restraining order preventing the recitation of the pledge at the Elk Grove Unified, Rio Linda and Elverta Joint Elementary school districts, where the plaintiffs' children attend."
Now what about all the hundreds of children and parents who have no issue with the pledge? Why can't they (the students) continue to say the pledge? They aren't forcing the children of these moronic parents to say it. Karlton, Newdow and these parents need to have their heads examined.
I would think banning the pledge from being said at all would be unconstitutional, much as it should be allowed for individuals to pray in school.
Banning the school from leading the pledge however should not stop the students from reciting it on their own accrod.
I would think.
I have appeared before in Judge Karlton's court room. Just for reference, he is a former ACLU lawyer who was appointed by (you guessed it) Jimmy Carter. He is the same guy that ruled it discriminatory for the prisons to prevent HIV positive inmates from working in the prison kitchen.
