Have you though about modded controllers to help with your disability? Buddy I used to play MW2 with was a vet and missing his left arm. He played with some modded controller and was able to hold his own ingame.

At my district, in the student code of conduct that must be signed, there is a clause stating that students cannot be forced to recite the pledge, but are required to stand and remain silent. Is this illegal?

I personally agree that the phrase should be changed back to indivisible, however I also believe it should be required to at least stand and respect the pledge once the phrase is corrected. That is more my patriotic belief than religious.

Not sure if you are still answering questions, but here's one. As an Educator, I am faced daily with the "one nation under god" debate. I would never force my beliefs (or lack thereof) upon students, but to me the pledge is more of a show of respect to the nation. Is your group leaning toward removal of students reciting the pledge completely, or just removal of the phrase? I never force any students to recite anything, but I do expect all of then to stand and respect the pledge and the moment of silence. How do you feel about this small requirement?
