Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Pledge of Allegiance no longer required?
Cite evidence for this assertion, please.

High time, if true. I had come to regard the morning ritual as inane by the third grade, and have not spoken the words to the pledge (which began life as a nineteenth century magazine piece fercrissake!) since 1960. When the Pledge is truly dead and buried, I'll piss on its grave if my prostate isn't too swollen by then.
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
New Evidence
I saw it on CNN one day. They have references to a court decision:

Evidence enough for you?

New Re: Evidence
Norman, you incorrigible twit, those stories are a year old. Moreover, the ban is not yet in effect while the Forces of Righteousness marshall their arguments for a possible appeal to the Supremes.

This is of a piece with your breathless announcement earlier this year that Apple had discontinued work on Rhapsody. Sheesh!
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
New Is this the news forum?
I could have sworn it wasn't. Here is a more recent link:
[link|http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/04/30/justice.pledge/index.html|http://www.cnn.com/2...pledge/index.html]

It should have been decided to hear the appeal by June 2003, which is already over. I cannot find any more recent links for this story, but I do remember hearing it on the CNN channel recently.

P.S. This just in "Franco is still dead!" regards to Chevy Chase. :)
