I sure as fuck wouldn't. From my perspective, forcing kids to recite the pledge diminishes the value of the oath. You want to recite the oath (and mean it)? Knock yourself out. Want to pass? Fine with me.

Forcing anyone to do it renders it wholly meaningless (which it is). I can't take it seriously at all. (On the other hand, the oath I took on entry into the military, that I took very seriously.)

This reminds me - my employer's former CEO used to have a full color guard and have the all the employees stand and recite the pledge at major company functions. No, I'm not joking. (Incidentally, my employer is based in Houston. Go figure.) Pretty much everyone in my office (Portland, OR) thought it was a stupid exercise.

Does anyone else outside of the US do shit this stupid?
