RE: "just take a look at France and their move to ban Muslim headscarves from the classroom."

I think it's okay to wear a religious article in school.

I think it's okay if an individual goes and prays to God.

I think it's okay if an indivdiual adds "God" to the pledge.

I don't think it's okay if your teacher tells you to do any of the above by teaching you this is how it is done.

The teacher should not be teaching this in school. The individual should be free to bring it in. And the other indivduals should be free from teachers that impose their religious teachings.

There is a difference between an individual having the freedom to express their religion and a teacher imposing it by teaching it. A teacher should not teach the pledge with the word God in it. An individual should be free to add it into the pledge, should they wish. Other individuals should be free from teachers telling you the pledge has God in it. (Especially when this same teacher will hypocritically claim the USA keeps religion separate from government, just as s/he teaches you the pledge with "God".)
