For those who think you can't hear one child, you are probably right. But shouldn't every child be able to say the pledge without having to deal with or think about their religious beliefs? Why should there be any association? Can't you be a patriotic american citizen without believing in God?

I don't know. It's against Jehovah's Witness belief to say the pledge period (or in our case here in Canada, sing the national anthem), but I've heard of kids who stay in the classroom anyway.
