In reading up on this case I have found that Newdows issue is not so much that the words “In God We Trust” are offensive to him it is that making teachers lead their classes in the pledge of allegiance takes away some of the parents decision in the religious upbringing of their children and can contradict what they are trying to teach their children about religion. In this case Newdow is an atheist and by having the teachers state that there is a god it contradicts what he is teaching his daughter. His main argument is that the words “In God We Trust” never should have been allowed to be added because Congress went against the US Constitution.
I will not be here next week but for the following week I hope to have the reason for the case being before the Supreme Court and the rulings of the case written
