The US constitution wasn't written to protect the "majority" it was to protect the "minority". And if you or anybody else wants to say the pledge of allegiance in school or anywhere else, it is your constitutional right to do so (just as it would be your right to say a prayer before a test). Where the unconstitutionality comes in is when the act is sanctioned by or required by the public school, which is an extension of a government body.

What about the people who do not believe in God? What about those who are polytheistic? What about those who are forbidden from speaking the name "God" as part of their religion? Where do their rights come in when a school makes saying the pledge part of the daily agenda?
