I kept waiting for someone to mention "uh, guys, it's a Constitutional provision, exactly meant to protect those small groups from just that offense", but no one thought to do so.

And I wouldn't be bothered by the Pledge if it was organic. No one is taking it out of the history books -- the problem is that the government is telling people to say it. It kinda seems unamerican, actually.
