Can someone cite an example of anyplace in the US where schools have stopped saying the Pledge?
Advertisements [?]
On Facebook, where there seems to be a certain obsession and, frankly, insecurity about the Pledge of Allegiance, I found this posted by one of my neighbors:

"I remember all through grade school saying this every morning to start the day... I pledge allegiance to the flag of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all! We no longer do that for fear of OFFENDING SOMEONE! Let's see how many AMERICANS will re-post this & NOT CARE about offending anyone...."

We no longer do that for fear of OFFENDING SOMEONE??????????????????????????

Do tell? Where? When did this happen?
