From the Denver Post:
An edited version of the Pledge of Allegiance has raised a controversy at Everitt Middle School in Wheat Ridge.
Eighth-grade counselor Margo Lucero, filling in for absent principal Kathleen Norton, changed a portion of the Pledge from "one nation under God" to "one nation under your belief system," while on the public- address system Wednesday morning.
"She said, 'Yes, I said that because I believe that there should be separation between church and school. I believe that everybody should have their own beliefs and that we shouldn't have to say, 'under God.'
Everyone needs something to believe in, Margo, I believe you shouldn't be allowed near children, never mind allowed to teach them.
Why would we allow someone who can't follow rules to teach our children. If she disagrees with something there are appropriate forums in which to express yourself. She chose not to do that either out of rebellion or stupidity. Either one is an inappropriate role model for students. Then we wonder what's wrong with our school system. Clue #1. Margo Lucero.

MY SIBLINGS WENT TO EVERITT!!!!! Many, many years ago. This story has actually been hush-hush here. There are many things that I could complain about in the small town that we live in, but the district is mostly traditional and conservative. My kids have all been blessed with mostly conservative teachers.
