A lawyer for an atheist family has asked Massachusetts' highest court to ban the practice of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in state public schools.

In arguments before the Supreme Judicial Court on Wednesday, a lawyer for the Acton family argued that the words "under God" in the pledge discriminate against atheist students.

Honestly the whole pledge is creepy and should be eliminated. Free societies should not have a loyalty oath. Public officials should recite pledges to their constituents.

If they did it probably went something like this:

Aku Ikrar kesetiaan kepada bendera Raya Indonesia, dan Republik yang berdiri, satu bangsa di bawah Allah, terpisahkan, dengan kebebasan dan keadilan untuk tidak ada yang.
