There is a solution. Those who want to recite the Pledge can do it privately, along with others of like mind. They can even do it in school constitutionally, as long as no one is forced to attend. No different than religious school clubs who meet voluntarily, or freethought clubs for that matter.

The problem is that there are people who believe that their "rights" are being violated if they can't force other people to attend their little religious services. In reality they never had those rights in the first place, but they've been able to act like they posessed them for much of US history.. so its very difficult to turn things around.
i can see your point. this makes a lot more sense than banning the fucking pledge for sure. people in this country take things to extremes... like this guy... HIS rights are being violated, so he is going to get MY rights taken away... very logical... hypocritical...
