[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 547338, member: 54538"] Q-- In the example you give, my opinion is that the kid would be allowed to not recite it if that's his/her wish, but that the class can and should still recite it. I see the instilling of patriotism/duty/respect for the country and its premises--the pledge's original intent--as being something that falls within the realm of government practices that are not only acceptable but necessary. However, the religious/deist aspects don't belong there--they contradict the "with liberty...for all" later in the pledge. I know some may see that difference as minimal or non-existant, but to me it's a clear demarcation. (sp?) [/QUOTE]
