The Pledge of Allegiance is taught to us right with the ABC's. But have you ever thought about the content. Some people don't agree with all of it. They feel that part of it doesn't go along with their beliefs. This doesn't make them un-patriotic. They very much believe in their country. They just don't believe in God (in the biblical sense). And I believe they have the right to choose not to say it.
             There are three main reasons that support the fact that people shouldn't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance. The first reason is that it supports the Christian religion. The first amendment of constitution states...
             Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (US Constitution n.p.)
             This has been interpreted to pieces over the years, but to me it means that no one can make you follow any certain religion. And it clearly states in the Pledge of Alligience "...one nation under God..." Are we one nation under God? No, we're not. The United States is a melting pot of races, cultures, and religions. Stating we are one nation under God is just wrong. Not everyone belives in the Christian God. Anyone that doesn't believe in the Christian God should have to say that they are "under" it.
             My second reason for being able to choose not to say the Pledge of Allegiance is in the first amendment again. It is the freedom of speech. Along with being able to choose what you say and how you say it, it gives you the option of choosing not what to say. This means that if you choose not to say it, no one can make you. It is a common right.
             My third reason is that people have the right to pledge to what ever they want to. Be it a flag, a god, or a door stop. No one can make us pledge to
