"I'm speaking out because my daughter is being raised in a Christian home," Banning, a Sunday school teacher, said. "We are not atheists, and I need to communicate to the American people that my daughter's not being harmed by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance."
Not only is Glen not harmed by the pledge, Banning says, but she loves saying it. "She told me the first day of school that she led the class in the Pledge of Allegiance," she said. "She was very excited."
After the court's decision, Banning's daughter told her, "I'm still going to say 'one nation under God.' I'll say it quietly so no one will know I'm breaking the law."
