Should the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance be abolished?

Is this really something you'd do every morning in an American High School?

Not at mine. Or my middle school.

I basically take the same position as Jehovah's Witnesses on issues like this. I won't ever say the pledge. It was said both times at the Senate district conventions I went to, I just remained seated. No one cared.

If I'm at an event with the national anthem I'll stand but won't salute the flag in any way either.

Mandating kids to "pledge their allegiance" to the country daily at school is nothing but mindless propaganda.

They are not mandated.  They need not recite the pledge.

Legally that might be the case, but we all know that it doesn't always work that way. Many schools will find different ways to "reinterpret" the law (such as saying that students aren't required if their parents don't agree with it so they can opt out with a letter from their parents stating why) or simply flat out ignoring the law and figuring no one will push it far enough with a lawsuit.

Also how many students are even aware of this? Teachers aren't required to let students know that it's not required.
