Illinois state law requires that "The Pledge of Allegiance shall be recited each school day by pupils in elementary and secondary educational institutions supported or maintained in whole or in part by public funds."The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the statute did not violate the students' rights, so long as students were free not to participate in the recitation of the Pledge.
Does your child legally have to say the pledge?
I assume you are referring to the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. The answer is no. It is federal law, under the First Amendment's free speech clause, that children may not be required to recite the Pledge. Children who don't want to do it, for whatever reason, can stand or sit respectfully while the others recite the Pledge. Schools are prohibited from forcing children to recite the pledge, and schools are prohibited from punishing those students for refusing to recite the pledge. However, any students who harass those who don't say the Pledge are subject to discipline or even expulsion.

When did the Pledge of Allegiance stop in America?
Not a very informed question. The simple answer is no schools have ever stopped doing it. The requirement to offer the opportunity to students to say the Pledge is state law, not federal. (Private schools can do what they want,) No state with the requirement has ever reversed it. Many states without the requirement obviously never started, so they can't stop it. Regardless, no student is ever required to say the Pledge of Allegiance. It is entirely optional. And that IS federal law.
What is the Texas state pledge?
The Texas Pledge:"Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."According to The Handbook of Texas Online, "In 1933 the legislature passed a law establishing rules for the proper display of the flag and providing for a pledge to the flag: "Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible." The pledge erroneously referred to the 1836 national flag, known as David G. Burnet's flag, instead of the Lone Star Flag. Senator Searcy Bracewell introduced a bill to correct this error in 1951, but the legislature did not delete the words "of 1836" until 1965."The pledge from 1965 till Jun 15, 2007 was:"Honor the Texas Flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."House Bill 1034 amended the pledge again with House Bill 1034, which went into effect on Jun 15, 2007 to read:"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."
Do Mormons pledge allegiance to the church before the US?
Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) live outside the United States. They do not pledge allegiance to the US because they are not US citizens. Mormons believe in honoring their country, wherever they live. Within Mormonism, honoring or 'pledging allegiance' to your country is a part of pledging allegiance to your religion, since Mormons are expected to "be subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
