My teacher from 7th grade told my class the pledge is a promise to the country to be loyal, and that not understanding & agreeing with it is simply un-american.

That is crap made up by people who are overly patriotic.  You can call me anti-American all you want.  Truth is, I like the US.  Just not the government and how the country is run.

Teachers instilling opinions into the impressionable minds of children is "un-American".

I don't even bother saying the pledge. It's meaningless anyway.  Think about it.  Virtually every day, you get up and say it.  But does it have any impact on you?  Do you think about loyalty when doing it?  It's just a couple lines that you rattle off in the morning and then sit down.  There's no rule against not saying the pledge, so why bother?

I don't give much of a honk about the pledge. No one is impacted by it, as Banana said. That is, unless you exhume an immeasurable amount of patriotism.

I was thinking of this a long time ago. Leave it in there, don't force anyone though.

Leave it, but people who don't believe could just NOT SAY IT.

Off Topic:There are no more "renegades" these days who don't do what they don't believe in. If I don't like a rule or custom, hell. I just break it.

So it was far away from God once 9/11 occurred? If I remember correctly, more people started to believe in God after that event.

I don't see the big deal... the whole pledge of allegiance was written by Christians. Altering it is wrong... and when we say "Under God" we don't specify WHAT god... Any religion believes in some sort of God, that they call God... I don't know what it would achieve taking God out of the pledge of allegiance... it was bad enough when they depraved it by making a Spanish version, but taking God out, would be another blow.
