Fortunately a growing number of public schools have recognized the

Actually they have dropped the whole pledge. Patriotism is seem as a
bad thing these days.


I don't see any connection between reciting that pledge and patriotism.
Had the pledge been adopted by Congress in 1842 instead of 1942, do you
think its recitation would have kept the Southern states from seceding?
