Pledge of allegiance: forcing religion?   stance: do you think that saying "under god" is too religious for america?:
Yes....I feel it is a little much. On top of the religious aspect, I think we shouldn't have it sung in schools period.
School is meant to be an objective learning atmosphere. Introducing peer-reinforced (bandwagon effect due to surrounding peers) patriotism and religious bias has no place in an environment meant to accomodate students of all backgrounds and religions. To me, looking back at my early school days, it seems a little like indoctrination.
So I support at the very least removing religious references in order to accomodate all religous beliefs.
The only way to do that is to have a secular PoA (I don't support any athiestic references either btw :P) .
Further, I think Issues of patriotism should be left to students and their parents outside of school.
