Political Quotes

“I rise here in support of this resolution. I am a graduate of Cleveland public schools, and I can remember as a little girl at Miles Standish Elementary School learning the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and it being so important to me. In third grade, we learned French, and we even learned how to say the Pledge of Allegiance in French in that third grade class; and here I stand 53 years old, and I am still able to remember that I said: Je jure fidelite au drapeau des Etats -Unis d'Amerique et a la Republique qu'il represente, une Nation sous Dieu, and so forth. We learned it in French and it was very important to me as I thought about it. I too am embarrassed by the Ninth Circuit Court. I am embarrassed that this court would take a pledge, when we make allegiance to our country, and try and take it out of context and move on; but I am even more disappointed today in the United States Supreme Court, because I come from the great city of Cleveland. Today this United States Supreme Court made the decision that vouchers were not unconstitutional, that vouchers in the establishment clause could be used to pay for religious education with public dollars.”
