Arizona Is At It Again

     Republicans in Arizona have proposed a bill that would require students to recite an oath before they can receive their high school diploma.  Apparently all the math, science, and history classes are not enough to prove that these students are qualified to graduate.

     The bill put forth by the Arizona legislature is HB 2467.  According to this bill the students would have say:  I, ________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge these duties; so help me god.

     There are many things wrong with this oath, but as an Atheist I am most concerned with the last line. When will the Christian-Right finally understand that not everyone believes in their god or any god at all.  The Arizona legislators time could be better spent working on improving education instead of wasting time pushing their bullshit religion.
