Right move, wrong reason

While I completely support abolishing the Pledge of Allegiance, the last reason is because of the "under God" phrase, just about the only part of the damn thing that I don't object to.

I have not said the Pledge for at least twenty years. When I am at meetings of civic organizations that do say it, I just stand silently. While I don't approve of anyone saying such a fetishistic, idolatrous thing, I leave it to them to do it or not, especially since it is such a minor thing.

Anyway, although they cite the "under God" business, I support this college. I would also like to see the elimination of the "Star Spreckled Banner" before sporting events.

Let's replace it with "Salve Regina" or something real.
