But then I'm against forcing religion on them too.

I'd rather they just be educated so they can graduate and make the world a better place.

Well you and others are entitled to their opinion; however, we must obey the rules of our country. National pride has played a huge riole in how far this country has advanced in so little time.

If a federally funded school district votes to have children recite the pledge; I have no problem, as long as no reference to religion is made. Apparently others do have a problem with this and think a tradition that has been going on for about about half our Country's history is somehow going to change us into a Dictatorship. 

Not sure you can force loyalty on student; however, obedience is not always a bad thing. Of course I also think every able-bodied person should be required to serve their country in some fashion; however, saying 2 sentences as a kid is in the too hard to do block for some.
