How about we just stop forcing or coercing public school students to pledge loyalty to the government every morning and then nobody would care what was in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I was questioned by the teacher and shunned by the class. I told the teacher to say that part of the pledge would be a forced lie and I mostly didn't care what the rest thought. The teacher agreed with me and I still didn't care what the sheep did or said.

It's pretty simple, if you don't like it, you don't have to say it. You're not going to tell me I can't say it and you're not going to stop me.
