Court
must silence pledge uncertainty
Plaintiff
has standing to bring case to high court
Last
week, a California atheist argued to the Supreme Court
that the daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance
in his daughter’s public school classroom is unconstitutional.
In question is one of the biggest church-state issues
the high court will face this year.
This editorial board is split on the constitutionality
of the pledge, but it firmly believes the Supreme Court
should not sidestep the issue by ruling that Michael Newdow,
the plaintiff, does not have standing to bring the lawsuit
in his behalf or his daughter’s. This excuse not
only allows an important social issue to allude confrontation,
it is also false. |

Beauty
of TCU is in full bloom
As
Americans, we are in the middle of an era of political
turmoil. The upcoming election has brought numerous issues
to the forefront of our attention. I, along with many
others, feel strongly about these issues. However, I think
we should all take a break. Take a second to stop being
angry or defensive and focus on something less serious.
Stop and smell the flowers — TCU flowers that is. |
