Subject: Texas legislature adds "under God" to Texas flag pledge

While looking for news about the Texas legislature's pending bill on
voter I.D., I ran across a news item that both houses of the Texas
legislature passed a bill adding "under God" to the Texas pledge of
allegiance.  I hadn't realized that Texas schoolchildren take 2 pledges
each morning.  The Texas pledge will probably say, "Honor the Texas
flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and
indivisible."
