I could really give a shit if someone wants to say the pledge or not - its their right not to say it, but don't take it away from everyone else simply because you don't believe in God, or A God or Allah or any other higher being.
Frankly I don't think it should be a part of a daily school procession but oh well. I mean where I grew up we only said it on Monday mornings - and even then we still had people not say it. I had a friend who was Muslim who didn't recite it but still stood up for the flag. That doesn't bother me and it shouldn't bother anyone else. So fine, don't say it, but why the hell do you want to change that? I'm sure we could find something much more worthwhile to change - ie: impending war with Iraq, Affirmative Action, Pro Life/Pro Choice......the list goes on and on
