Many Atheist activists have been attacking schools for the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. In many cases, they lose their cases due to the freedom of speech, or first amendment. Judges and government officials claim that a person is obligated to opt out that line if it "offends their beliefs." In one particular case, a New Jersey senior, Samantha Jones, stood up against the Atheists who tried to legally remove the phrase and won. "I'm so grateful the court decided that kids like me shouldn't be silenced just because some people object to timeless American values," said Jones.
Many judges believe the lawsuits to be illogical and do not think it violates the plaintiff's rights.
