[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have not problem with it being recited but for the "under God" part. I don't think anyone should have to recite pledges (or abstain, thus singling them out) that include religious references.[/quote] So let's stop doing something we've done forever so the few who don't agree with it won't feel left out? Can we pls teach kids to not be afraid to show their beliefs? [/quote] We haven't said "under God" forever. It was added in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Extensive knowledge of American history is much more patriotic (and a better thing to be taught in schools) than mindlessly reciting a pledge, especially one that needlessly includes a religious aspect.[/quote]
