Some public schools (like mine) still recite the pledge as a class in the mornings. Some do not.
Should it be mandatory that all public schools recite the Pledge?
Hell No! And if they say it they need to leave the God part out of it.

You can't, and shouldn't try to, force someone to pledge allegiance. The school should do it everyday, but can't force any student to actually say it.
Doesn't matter if they know what it means or not. The fact that they don't know what it means only adds to the disgrace of actually forcing someone to say it.I agree that children need to be taught what it actually MEANS and not just recite it with no understanding.

Would you be okay with "under our Creator"?
No. The school I went too did, but only a few recited it. Most kids didn't care, and really its a waste of class time.

Kind of interesting that 8 people voted yes but not one comment on why.
I voted yes and gave my comments regarding why I voted that way.
Any country that has to force the young - well, anyone - to pledge allegiance before they can even comprehend what the words mean is not a country I want to be a part of. Pledging allegiance, to anything, should always be a voluntary act. If it's not a voluntary act, then it's a superficial, meaningless waste of breath and to me, a complete dishonor of what this country stands for and all the people who have died defending it. I can't think of a bigger slap in the face to every person who has died for this country than to allow it to become an authoritarian regime that forces its youth to recite an allegiance like drones.
