Personally I think they should take out the "under God" line in the pledge. *shuffles feet as everyone in the thread glares at her* I remember when I was in Kindergarden in this private school where they DID force you to say the pledge and at the time I was an athiest. I always felt very uncomfortable when it came to that line. Today I do believe in God, but I can still easily imagine how athiest's must feel. It IS just like saying "under Zeus" or "under some other God" (in my opinion).

Reason #122 why high school sucks. You are technically supposed to say the pledge. Of course if you just stay seated you don't really get in trouble, but my global studies teacher (whom I sadly had year round) gave all the seated kids nasty looks. Sorta makes things a bit, aggrivating.
