[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is starting preschool this fall and I just learned that her class will be reciting the pledge of allegiance each morning. Now, I don't mind so much the pledge of allegiance in general - what bothers me is the "under God" line that's part of it. It doesn't bother me enough to make a big stink or say or do anything about it, but I certainly would prefer that the class did not saying the pledge of allegiance (actually, what I'd [i]really[/i] like is to have no religious references in the pledge of allegiance)....anyway, my question is, is this (i.e., reciting the pledge in schools) standard? What about in public schools? Do the kids have to say the pledge there?[/quote] You can always tell your child to recite the original Pledge of Allegiance, from 1892, which did not contain the words "Under God." Tell your child to skip that part. The phrase "Under God" wasn't added until 1954. [/quote]
