Massachusetts Supreme Court to Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case

Massachusetts Supreme Court to Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case:
"The most recent of these cases Doe v. Action-Boxborough Regional School District which says the pledge violates students’ rights, will be considered by the Massachusetts Supreme Court this week.
The suit was filed anonymously on behalf of an atheist couple who says compulsory recitation of the pledge violates the guarantee of equal protection under the law."
......Interestingly, the first legal actions brought against the Pledge were filed by Jehovah’s Witnesses, who argued that it violated their religious freedom, considering it idolatry.
