To those that would prefer the schools on it teach or recite the Pledge--why? Is it the "under God" part? When I was in school if you did not believe in God you simply remained quiet at the "one nation under God" part and joined back in at "indivisible".

Intersting. I thought all public schools had kids recite it. I am not a huge fan personally.

I don't think anyone on this thread has said their children have strong feelings about it. I do remember that, as a kid, I myself recited each day without anyone ever providing more meaning. Then again, I was in Texas, so history centered on the state.
I prefer my children not say it. They know why and they agree
Poster 15:30 does. Of course your small children agree with your brainwashing. They don't know anything else.

My DD didn't go to preschool. Kindergarten was her first exposure to school. But we live in SF - I'm sure they don't say it in preschool.

NP here, but my guess would be that they want their children to have a secular education, which is the right of all citizens, according to the First Amendment.
What are you prattling on about? Secular education? WTF?
It means an education that is free from discussion of religion and God.

I'm glad my kids know the pledge and the preamble to the constitution. They also know the national anthem and Hebrew prayers and the Nicene creed. It's called a well rounded education.

I didn't spend my life raising an ungrateful fucking liberal moonbat.
Liberal here whose kids have known the pledge since age 2. Every time they see a Trump sign they want to know why Mr. Trump doesn't think America is already great?
They are super patriotic and love America, as do I.

So, not only do you not know the Pledge, you also don't know what the First Amendment says... Gotcha.

The United States of America is so much more than the Pledge of Allegiance.
