Abstract | Saying the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools has generated controversy for more than sixty years. On Flag Day, June 14, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped an opportunity to clarify the constitutionality of public school students reciting "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. But this issue is not going away. Following the Supreme Court's decision, several families voiced interest in mounting new challenges to the religious reference in the Pledge. This article analyzes the 2004 decision and explores how the Supreme Court might rule in a subsequent case regarding the constitutionality of saying the current Pledge in public schools. (ERIC). |
