spiderdustToday the Pledge of Allegiance was ruled unconstitutional. To read the article about it, see the last post I made.
Whether or not you agree with it, this is a big deal. So here's what I'd like you to do: go to cnn.com or any other news source you like, find an article about this & read it to your kids. Talk to them about it. Have them write an essay or a poem about it, or make an art project -- color a picture, make a collage, sculpt -- expressing what it means to them (If you homeschool, you can file this away for paperwork & use this as a lesson in our government and court systems & how they work).
Some people think that it'll end up getting tossed out of the courts... maybe, maybe not. In any case, it's a very important event.
