No one is forcing you to say the Pledge.

Oh I say, it, just not the "Under God" part. I'm O.K. with doing it that way too. If the Courts ruled "Officially" that Nobody had to say that part, I wouldn't have a problem. If the Court did rule that way, I bet the "Recitation Volume" would drop significantly during that part.

And by the way, just an FYI..... The Orginal Pledge DID NOT include the words "Under God", that was added by Congress..... You know.... The GOVERNMENT..... In the 50's. A prime example of Your Govenment Money at work.

The True Pledge Of Alligance:

I Pledge Alliegance To The Flag
Of The United States Of America
And To The Republic For Which It Stands
One Nation, Indivisible, With LIBERTY,
And Justice For All.

You might try reading it again yourself sometime.

P.S. - I notice that you didn't feel a need to answer Tim's question. Why Not?

if you're a 10 year old child of hindu parents who go to a santa clara school and there is a pledge of allegiance in the morning class, you don't think that kid is being forced to say the pledge? or do you suggest that she exercise her constitutional right and leave the class ? as an adult there may not be overt pressure but for children there certainly is.
