No "Under God" Looms

Here we go with the looming again. Only this one really takes the loom. It seems the absence of the phrase "under God" is looming. Go to this link (could become dead in a couple of weeks):

I think it is good that the absence of "under God" in reciting the pledge in public school is "looming". Mention of God, Christ, the Hegira, Seder, or anything that is connected with a specific religion is bound to alienate some in the classroom. That is why we have separation of church and state. I hope that the ban comes into effect and stays in effect, although I know the Supreme Court sooner or later will overturn it. But it will be good while it lasts. And it does not loom.
