Should the Supreme Court leave the “under God”
clause in the Pledge of Allegiance? Laura Schrupp
Third-year, psychology “I believe church and state
should be separate. “¦ I don’t think “˜God’
should be in the Pledge of Allegiance because not everybody
believes in God.” Christina Lord Third-year, chemical
engineering “I think it should be taken out because
it was only added in the 1950s, because we didn’t want to
look like Communists “¦ so, it wasn’t a part of the
original Pledge of Allegiance.” Joyce Yoon
Third-year, communication studies “Our founding
fathers … came to America based on the freedom of religion, and
that’s a part of our history, so I do believe that (God)
should be included.” Compiled by Ilana Freid and photos
