Isn't "a kid being forced to say the pledge" different from "the kid being forced to adopt a different religious belief" ? We can argue endlessly as to whether forced reciting of the pledge by itself is constitutional or not, but where is the coercion to adhere to a specific religion ? As a Hindu parent I don't find anything offensive in the pledge and my 10-year old son has been reciting this ever since KG. I have all along seen the pledge as to what it is, i.e. owing allegiance to our country, the United States. I am amazed at the religious twist being given to it, by that one phrase, and somehow seen as forcing Christianity on everyone. I see the pledge only as an assertion of our firm belief that this a single nation with diverse ethnic and religious faiths, having equal rights and freedoms. Ramesh
