The power 31 words have to make people lose their minds.
WOODBURY — No one's sure when daily recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance fell by the wayside at Woodbury Elementary School.
But efforts to restore them have erupted into a bitter dispute in this tiny (pop. 810) Vermont town, with school officials blocking the exercise from classrooms amid concerns that it holds nonparticipating children up to scorn.
Supporters say the classroom is the place for it, and the disagreement has fueled an increasingly acrimonious debate.
Another piece of American tradition being thrown under the now very crowded under-chassis of the bus. Why do we (on both sides of issues) let little things bother us so? We're talking about 31 words, including the infamous "under God". Is this hate speech? How do they hurt?
Just words.
