Not until all means all


To a lot of folks the Pledge of Allegiance is as much a part of their vision of schooling as math, social studies, and the celebration of Hispanic heritage otherwise known as Taco Day. But not to Will Phillips, a fifth-grader in Arkansas.

Will's gotten some national attention because he is refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance. In explaining his rationale Will stated, "I've always tried to analyze things because I want to be lawyer. I really don't feel that there's currently liberty and justice for all."
