pledge (duck)

[lweinberg at mail.law.utexas.edu]

Dear David,
         Yes, frankly I am relieved.  The only honest alternative would 
have been a ruling in favor of the atheist, a firestorm, and a bill for a 
constitutional amendment; an accommodation would not have been this bad, 
but would be a real departure ~ as far as I understand the situation.  But 
hard cases make bad (standing) law.  Of course a parent should have had 
standing.  Analogies from Meyer, Pierce, whatever.   I think.
