What is your opinion on the court decision to remove “Under God” from the pledge of allegiance?

“I don’t agree with it. I think the court should keep it legal. I don’t think it’s separation of church and state. It’s what we were principally founded on historically.”
— George Furguson, sophomore international business major

“Absolutely not. the phrase “under God” is a part of our historical foundation that establishes us on our religious principles.”
— Trevor Smith, freshman entrepreneurial management major

“I disagree with it because our nation was based on values of god. It’s a shame to take it out of schools, but I see their point.”
— Marcus Lewis, freshman engineering major

“I don’t think it should be removed because it’s been there as long as the pledge has been around. That’s the way it’s been, that’s the way they wanted it.”
— Liz Butler, freshman pre-business major

“That’s ridiculous, do they want to take God off the money too? It should stay in the pledge of allegiance because that’s an important part ouf our country.”
— Miranda Haedge, sophomore nursing major

“That’s pretty sad. Just because everyone is trying to defend what the founders believe and what’s in the Constitution, you’d think they’d defend everything.”
— Celeste Hanvey, sophomore pre-major
