Constitutionally, the whole god bit should be removed. But when i was that young that i had to recite the pledge every day, i didn't think about the meaning of the words i was saying. It was just part of the routine, like taking attendance and having recess. And by the time you are old enough to decide your beliefs, no one really makes you say the pledge any more. It comes on over the PA, but everyone just keeps talking about the party they were at over the weekend, etc. When it comes down to it, you could even argue that saying the pledge in general is unconstitutional. Maybe i'm not a citizen and i just go to school here cause this is where my parents live and there's nothing i can do about it, blah blah blah. Seriously though, no one is gonna force you to say the pledge. You're not gonna get thrown out of school for it. Personally, i think everyone needs to relax. America has a big stick up its ass when it comes to political correctness. If you don't agree with the statement, then don't say it, but don't waste my tax money taking it to court. And don't be so touchy, the statement wasn't aimed at offending you.
