I think i will go sign it. Two things come to mind when i read this, the first being the quote by Voltaire, "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it." and the second being the song "I Pledge Allegiance" -- By Red Skelton who's words can be found here:

This debate will go on for eternity because everyone has differnent views, the best solution is to allow a child to choose for him self, and for his decision to not be influenced by anyone. A child's mind will change many times in his or her life, and with those changes will come differences in opinion, and quite possible changes in religious beliefs; for who are we to tell someone what, or who, or how they can or can not believe, that is UnAmerican. This country was built on freedom of expression and freedom of speech, where would we be without it..if we didnot enjoy these freedoms, would we all have met? Would we have an open discussion like this? Would the female members here have the right to be here? Would females have the right to vote? Where would we be?
