Atheist Guidance Counselor Makes A Statement...

Revises "Pledge of Allegiance" when leading the student body in its recitation over the PA system.
Margo Lucero, the eighth-grade guidance counselor at the school, substituted the phrase "under your belief system" [for "under God"] as she led the recitation of the Pledge on Wednesday.
What as asshat. Her rationale? It was the sixth anniversary of Columbine and she wanted to be "all inclusive". Great, what a perfect way to commemorate a day where two psycho kids go up to their fellow students, ask them if they believe in God and shoot them point blank when they answer "yes". This woman needs a swift kick in the ass.

Fortunately, the school didn't sanction this idiot's actions.

Meanwhile, Jefferson County School District spokesman Rick Kaufman was engaged in damage control, describing Miss Lucero's decision to rewrite the Pledge as "inappropriate" and stressing that she had acted independently, without consulting the district or other school officials.
