Eh. Changing it because they were scared of the commies was a pussy move. Making children repeat it daily was an embarrassing level of indoctrination.

Kinda tainted now imo

This is bullshit. If our country's Pledge of Allegiance offends anyone, they need to leave this country, plain and simple.

It should be optional. The minute it becomes compulsory, they should strip the word “liberty” from it.

If I moved to another country, and they had a similar tradition, I might abstain from repeating the pledge but I certainly would not expect or request that they change it. ,

Really getting sick of the Anti-American bullshit! This is your country, love it or get the fuck out!

No just say the pledge of allegiance if you are an American.

The Pledge should be optional. I refuse to say it until trans people are allowed back into our military.

Loyalty pledges are for fascists.

What people fail to realize is that the little things we do add up to become big things. Back in school we said the pledge every morning. It instilled in me a pride for my country. That pride leads me to care about my countrymen. I'm really tired of all this anti American stuff. No wonder there is so much anger and hatred.

And they've been trying to get people to believe the president's allegiance is in question.

So far as I know, the Pledge of Allegiance has always been optional to general audiences. Even back when I was in school there were those who for religious or other reasons, did not join in the pledge.

optional.

and at least where I grew up it always was anyway.

I can see making it optional..but not banning

take a knee colin.. see how that goes..

Perhaps they would be more comfortable with The Internationale

That is crazy. But it’s ok if Americans are offended? 🤮

it’s a local matter

It doesn't need to be banned. You can sit down and not pledge. No problems because you have that right.
