In high school there was this Wiccan girl who was suspended for 2 weeks because she would say under the gods instead of under god.

"We didn't think it was fair for the whole school to have to listen to it. It's almost religious oppression," she said"...... Good grief, no way. It is a huge part of our history,They can just not participate and show a bit of respect.

I have mixed emotions about this one. I think the "Under God" part MUST be dropped, but I think having the pledge is a good thing. If I recall correctly, we took the pledge when we were in elementary school. I'm proud of these kids. They changed the pledge to be inclusive. Good for them!

I would suggest that the students that don't want to say the pledge of allegiance move to Berkeley, California. They would fit in extremely well there.
