im also on the "chill out with the pledge" side of the fence. theres a reason why separting church and state exists in the law (then again, a lot of our laws stem from christian beliefs, so...)
however, what happens when that kids gets in trouble for protesting the pledge? this happened in school (from elementary up to high school) and kids would get letters and phone calls, suspensions, all sorts of crazy mess. i personally think its a waste of time (i know red flags are goin up and ppl are gonna jump down my throat). i mean, do we need an public educational institution telling us that to start our day off, we need to pledge allegiance to the flag under god? teachers would throw a fit if you didnt stand up, put ur hand over ur chest, everything. to the point where if you didnt to it with the class, you had to recite it to the class afterwards, which took up even more time, and then the kid looks like a fool.
ive not once felt any better or worse in school (or any public institution) by saying the pledge.
