Image result for pledge still be said in school Should the Pledge of Allegiance still be said in school? I feel that the pledge should still be said in school every morning. The main reason that the pledge of allegiance is said in schools is to instill a sense of patriotism amongst students so that they have a pride in the country. When we say the pledge we face the flag and we are respecting the falling soldiers, they sacrificed their life so that we could be free. The Pledge of Allegiance is an important tradition that helps instill loyalty in the youth. It is a reminder of the rights we have as Americans, and it's a good way to start the day. People who object to The Pledge of Allegiance do not understand its true significance. I believe that the pledge of allegiance should be said every day in schools, because it teaches children and teachers what the United States of America is, why it began, and what it stands for. I do not think that children should be forced to say the pledge if they were taught to not say it because of their beliefs, but it should be encouraged and if they do not want to they should still be respectful to everyone else who is participating in say the pledge. So I believe that the pledge of allegiance should be said every morning in schools.

    This is a very big controversial topic right now. I agree with you in saying schools should say it every morning. I wish we would have said it more in middle/high school as much as we did in elementary school.

    I agree, people today seem to be taking the pledge out of context and have forgot what it means. We need to remember how we got where we are today and the pledge is a great daily reminder.

Some people agree that the pledge should still be in schools because in pubic schools it is education given by the government so people should say it. One person says "It is important that from a young age children learn what it is to be an American and supporting their country under god. This country was founded on Christianity and I find it confusing that someone would want to take "under God" out of the pledge. Taking God out of everything is not the way to go about improving this country." A pledge means a promise, a promise that you make to this country. Allegiance means that you are loyal; to be loyal is to commit to the country your entering. Saying "to the flag" is a symbolism of the country itself. "To the republic" means a place where people get to vote and "one nation" stands for the entire country of 50 states, "Under God" is intended to show that a higher power blesses or at least looks positively on the type of...

Some parents believe that the pledge should not be said in schools one Brookline, Mass. parent Martin Rosenthal says he is very patriotic. He proudly put his hand on his heart and pledged allegiance to the flag at a recent community event. But, he says, the pledge has no place in the classroom. "You're asking kids in school to take a loyalty oath in front of their classmates," he says. "I just don't think that's right." Rosenthal says the pledge has no educational value and even flies in the face of the kind of critical thinking schools should be teaching. But, he says, he's most bothered by the peer pressure students may feel to recite it. "I mean, I have a thick skin, but I don't think it's right to put 6- to 7-year-olds in that situation — and the school committee doesn't get it," Rosenthal says. School committee Chairwoman Rebecca Stone says no students have ever complained they were bullied for not pledging. Brookline schoo...
