Around fifty students at Boulder (CO) High School are continuing their protests and boycott of the mechanical recitation of the pledge of allegiance during class time when they should be busy with rote learning in order to pass the tests that the Decider(TM) has imposed on schools thereby preventing any real teaching.
Oh, and they also don't like the (blatantly unconstitutional) "under God" bit. Before all of the traditionalists get pissed off at me for wanting to change our country's founders desires they should remember that "under God" bit in the pledge was slipped in during 1954 whilst the country was busy looking for commies under their beds.
I should also note that I, along with several others, was suspended from my alma mater, Unionville (PA) High School, for refusing to stand during the pledge; a punishment that was later lifted after a complicated comprimise agreement.

My congratulations and support to the Boulder protestors!
