: First Amendment Center'God' in Pledge doesn't violate students' rights, 1st Circuit rules
By By The Associated Press
BOSTON ? A federal appeals court has upheld a New Hampshire law requiring schools to authorize a time each day for students to voluntarily recite the Pledge of Allegiance, finding the oath's reference to God doesn't violate the students' constitutional rights.
On Nov.12, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston affirmed a ruling by a federal judge who found students can use the phrase "under God" when reciting the pledge.
Parents and the Freedom From Religion Foundation had sued the Hanover School District in New Hampshire and the Dresden School District in New Hampshire and Vermont in 2007. They said children's constitutional rights were being violated.
The 1st Circuit found in Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Hanover School District that the primary effect of the law was "not the advancement of religion, but the advancement of patriotism."
