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.
If the rules are that we must say the pledge every day I am guilty of breaking the rules.
I personally don't think it makes it a dictatorship...I think that a country that values its freedom so much should probably allow people to exercise it by not saying a pledge.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
