Yes, the ones that "win" correspond to timing. But no one is prescient enough to know who the winners are, until they get to look backwards. If atheists and agnostics get greater rights out of this, you will start seeing ducks, in a line.

It is always easier to spot a duck when you aren't facing forward.

I move that we sing Woodie Guthrie's song "This Land is Your Land" instead of the pledge. We'll have more fun, and we'll learn some geography at the same time.

This Land is Your Land
by Woody Guthrie

(chorus) This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the gulf stream water,
This land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley, I said
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
O'er the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
While all around me a voice was sounding, saying
This land was made for you and me

Was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was posted, said “Private Property”
But on the back side, it didn’t say nothing --
This land was made for you and me.

When the sun was shining, then I was strolling
In the wheat fields waving, and the dust cloud rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me.

One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the relief office I saw my people --
As they stood hungry,
I stood there wondering
if this land was made for you and me?
