I hope all these laws get repealed soon. It's such utter crap.
The dumbasses on Fox talking about it was just idiotic.
If you allow anybody to sell icecream 50 meters away from the funeral. You must allow them to be there. Basically if it is public property they get to protest whatever they want. BS stay away laws are absolute crap and they remind me of Bush-era Free Speech Zones.
They protest because God tells them to inform others of our impending doom of God's wrath as we are all doomed because we skirted God's law. They don't protest the funerals because of Don't Ask Don't Tell, they protest the funerals because dead soldiers, like 9/11, and any and all disasters that kill American lives are signs of God's wrath. What ignorant tools Fox has...

Colorado Students walk out at pledge...
Including the words "Under God" is clearly giving recognition to a monotheistic deity who is "above", this isn't permitted it is clearly a law "respecting an establishment of religion" and kudos to Michael Newdow in this respect.
Hell yeah. Some Colorado students finally take a stand.. That pledge is completely unconstitutional and having worked as a substitute teacher in the past I can attest to the fact that it's largely ignored and when it isn't it's just annoying. Most of the students don't even stand when it is even read, and when they do they don't bother to say the thing. And frankly, since nobody seems to care, it's unconstitutional to make them care (unconstitutional in a different way).
I believe that because West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette was decided on free speech grounds (the state has no right to compel speech) nobody has to recite the Pledge. And, as nobody is really upsetting class by nobody doing anything (and as standing up counts as speech)... I don't think students can be compelled to care if they don't and nobody minds that they don't.
In the Colorado case, I love the suggestion of holding it in the auditorium during lunch. I could think of nothing more optional or more useless.
