See, be real. I am an immigrant too. If you choose to enroll your kid in a Catholic school, they will say the Lord's prayer daily. If you choose to come to this country, don't feign surprise about these things, just go back to where you came from, where you apparently have such a high level of personal rights.[/quote]

I am an immigrant too and I don't have much problem with the pledge either.

However, I don't have issues when other people have problems with it. If they have problems, instead of going back (which some people keep touting), why can't they try to change it? We are now part of the process anyway, right? The pledge is at least not something we grow up with and I won't feel upset if people want to go against it.

PP - what country are you from? [b] Should we move there and change your country's rituals?[/b]  Or would we be considered to be imperialistic "ugly Americans"?  You are free to try to change whatever you want, but you can also expect that many Americans will not look kindly on your activism.[/quote]

Once you become a citizen of my home county, sure, you can try. I may or may not agree but you certainly have the same right as any other citizens of the country on the issue.
If someone touts "go back to America" I would not support them on that.

If there are enough people (doesn't matter if they are immigrants or not) in this country that insist on keeping the ritual, then there is no need to worry. 
If there are, instead, enough people insisting on abolishing it, then why not?
