God does not belong in the schools, the Pledge of Allegiance does......in its original form. But then I believe kids need to be taught civics & be made aware of their rights & responsibilities for the freedoms we have.
The Pledge of Allegiance was not written with "God" included & when it was added (by Congress) the author disagreed with it.
