WBMW, Nope, you are wrong. The fundamentalists in all religion want to exert a coercive pressure on all people, but expecially the children.
It is not easy for a kid ostracise him/her self and refuse to walk the walk. Next thing the other kids are persecuting them for daring to be their own self. Conform to the norm.I expect the same thing occurs in a muslim country....with far harsher results, if any kid dares not pray 5 times a day or otherwise depart from the norm, his parents will be visited and told he must conform or leave the school.

At least we have this freedom here. Let us not have the fundamentalist crap force fed to our kids with the daily pledge.
Why do we need that pledge at all? Do you go to work and say the pledge?
