The thing about it is...there are people that have different religions in this country and even though it sucks, having the Pledge of Alligance in schools when people are required to say it is almost a breach of the rights that people have in this country. I mean I know most people were are of the same religion, but what if you believed in a different religion and you were force to do something like the Pledge of Alligance? This is one of the cases where you actually have to put yourself in someone else's shoes and say...what would I do? The US is based on freedoms and you have to realize that that means different things to different people....which inclues the freedom to choose which religion you affiliate yourself with.
