Since mention of the word "God" in the pledge is so offensive, I'm
wondering why those supporting the decision continue to use US Federal
Reserve Notes (otherwise known as dollar bills and other coinage), which
all say "In God We Trust". Don't just ban money from schools (those kids
don't need to eat lunch), ban the Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence which both mention the word. Its not as if the kids are
actually taught anything from them anymore anyways.
