Well personally I feel the words under god have no place in the pledge, especially since they were added because communists were atheists. That being said the real issue is how much complete bullshit the pledge really is.
Having just graduated last year, I'll tell you that based on my observations of doing the pledge for 13 years of public school, at least 95% of students don't give a flying fuck about the pledge. Most teachers asked you to stand during the pledge, but no one would recite it, they would just wait for it to end so they could sit again. Some teachers didn't even care if you stood or not. In fact, some of the class clowns would recite the pledge really loud as a joke since it would get so quiet in the class when it came on.
I think it would make a lot more sense if each morning you had to read off something in the Bill of Rights. Something that actually teaches the kids the values and morals that this country was founded on.
