I agree that the pledge ought to be said in the classrooms--but as long as it's not mandatory. When I was a kid, I happily said the pledge each day, until, that is, the state made it a REQUIREMENT. At that point, I continued to stand for the pledge, but never said it. Patriotism should always be a choice, and never be coerced.<br> And if anyone reading this questions my patriotism, I'll tell you right now that I believe in this country enough to fight for it--28 years in the Marines!
