It's important for one's voice to be heard, even if the message is unpopular. At that time, I would have been satisfied with the Pledge if "under god" was removed. Since then, as you can see in this post, I've found many more objections to it besides violating church state separation. Now I wouldn't support any pledge in public schools, regardless of its content especially if it's performed before students reach the age of reason, it isn't critically examined beforehand, and students aren't explicitly told they don't have to participate. Even then, teachers could still be biased against students that refuse to do it. And students that don't might get bullied for it in conservative schools. It goes against the spirit of education, so better to just abolish it entirely. - - -Link(s): -[1: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/319/624/case.html](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/319/624/case.html) |
