In about 6th grade I started to rebel and refused to do the pledge getting me kicked out of class multiple times. Me and the school reached a compromise where I didn't have to say "God" anymore during it so I would always say the pledge far louder then anyone else and go "One nation under ____!" That held me over until high school when most teachers stopped caring if I did it or not.

Braze - 2011-05-29 I was an underoverachiever too, and I did a pretty similar thing. Instead of saying the pledge, I would slam out hot licks on my gibson flying v while riding around the room on a fuckin horse.
A horse!

Even as a great American I feel children are too young to truly understand what they are swearing an oath to. There really is no point in coercing them into the pledge for all it does is cheapen it. I remember just about everyone in highschool was cynical towards the pledge.

You guys were actually doing the pledge in high school and junior high? The last time I remember reciting it was in third or fourth grade, and I spent my entire public school education in red states.

Baldr - 2011-05-29 We never did the Jesus thing either. I don't get it. Is it because I'm in my early 30's? Was post 9/11 a mini-great awakening for nationalism and public religious expression?

As a teacher, I never force a student to do the pledge. It seems silly to force someone to say something that is supposed to represent freedom.
