Kenn Starr on the Pledge
What do you think Kenneth Starr‘s position on the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance is? Ready to be surprised?

As the Cold War was unfolding, Congress added the words “under God” as a more complete and decidedly relevant statement of the nation’s political philosophy. … [I]t will rightly be said that schoolchildren will doubtless feel peer pressure to participate in an exercise in which they (or their parents) emphatically disagree … [but the] answer is not to abolish the exercise itself.
