Math Prof Sues to Revise Pledge of Allegiance

(2003-10-14) -- A Nebraska mathematics professor today filed suit against his daughters' public school district claiming that the Pledge of Allegiance she recites each day inaccurately claims that the United States is "one nation, under God, indivisible."

"My daughter is being indoctrinated with lies," said plaintiff Michael Newmath. "I demand that the court strike the word 'indivisible' from the pledge. There are infinite ways to divide the United States -- just look at the 2000 presidential election. My daughter no longer trusts her teachers because they mindlessly mouth this patently-false part of the pledge."
