State Rep Won't Lead Pledge in PA
Submitted By Todd on October 5th at 4:56am
A Pennsylvania state rep refuses to lead the pledge at a committee hearing.
Based on my First Amendment rights and based on the fact that I really think it's a prayer. I don't pray in public.
Afterward, Josephs was unapologetic. She said she was about 14 years old when Congress inserted the words 'under God' into the Pledge. She insists that makes it a prayer.
"How many years ago was 1954? I have not said the Pledge of Allegiance since and I will not say it into the future unless they take those words out and make it less of a prayer," Josephs said.
Metcalfe concedes it is Josephs' right to not say the Pledge. He just thinks it's wrong.
