I honestly had no idea the pledge was even recited in schools anymore. I personally havent said the pledge since middle school. I'm not sure if I even remember it tbh.

Great for Atlanta. The pledge is nothing more than practicing paganism

I thought this would be about the fratboys at Emory pulling some hazing hijinks.

All it says to me is that too many generations have been allowed to take for granted the freedoms that the flag represents.

Taken in a vacuum, one school stopping the Pledge is no big deal. But it’s another symptom of a lack of respect and care about the country. Cultural Marxists shite on the country and chip away at every tradition, and their freedom to express hate for this country is the only freedom they generally care about. When it’s all said and done, the country will be weaker and possibly Balkanized.

Why don’t you go tell that to a World War II veteran you commie pinko cocksucker. You better make sure he’s either bedridden or in a wheelchair because otherwise he’s liable to take your arse to the pavement.
You think reciting the pledge is “paganism”? You don’t believe in showing respect for the flag and for those who fought and died for YOUR freedom? Move to Russia. I’ll help your arse pack.

Always thought the pledge was super weird anyways. Plus, like cursive, it's not exactly something that happens in the real world.
I honestly am not a big forced- pledge person, but a) the global bullshite is a lot MORE creepy and b) I would ironically be pissed if my kids' school did this and would fight it just because of the motivations of the people removing it.

I know it's not a popular opinion but the pledge is odd. Something mandated at a time when people were afraid of communist takeover.
It's not like it's some founding fathers tradition.
It was started in the depression when fears were that workers would look to communism to fix their woes. Kids began being required in the 30's to pledge.
Famously Jehovah's Wittnesses fought that to the Supreme Court.
Oddly the pledge now is seen as a barrier to socialist ideals.
WHEN THE DANG THING WAS WRITTEN BY A SOCIALIST.
If all things socialist are unamerican, and the most American thing is written by a socialist, are the words then unamerican?
We see it as not odd because it's all we know.

The Pledge was supposed to be quick and to the point. Bellamy designed it to be recited in 15 seconds. As a socialist, he had initially also considered using the words equality and fraternity[17] but decided against it, knowing that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans
quote:
The Pledge of Allegiance, as it exists in its current form, was composed in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931), who was a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist,[12][13]and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellam
