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

Thankfully nobody is forced to say it heh?

As others have noted, that's not really the case in far too many American public schools.

I'm sure it happens, but anecdotal evidence isn't worth all that much.  I'm guessing most people (>95%) who stand quietly while the pledge is recited don't take any sh**t.  When they do take sh**t, it should be noted and the people pushing the sh**t should be forced to stop pushing the sh**t.  Yeah, that's an winnable battle, but so is trying to stop murder.

I'm pretty sure we stopped in Middle School (6-8 grades) and didn't do it in High School...or only did it once a week or something, I don't really remember.  I know we did it in MS, it seems like we did it in HS, but I just can't remember ever doing it.

I just asked my HS aged kid and no, they do not do it in her HS (she kind of laughed at the idea), but they did do it in MS.

I don't understand...you yourself just said you never said it....why does it need to be abolished again?
