Virginia's Pledge of Allegiance law upheld

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a Virginia law which requires public schools to lead a daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Though I appreciate efforts to restore the Pledge to its original form--minus "under God"--I am more disturbed that the Pledge exists at all. Loyalty oaths frighten me, and making children take loyalty oaths really frightens me.
