Want this question answered?
the pledge of allegiance is recited by Christians and Jews in the U.S., most Muslims living in the U.S. probably say it too, although there is no separation of church and state in the Islamic religion, so possibly devout Muslims don't, but a majority of the U.S. does
Renounce loyalty to former government
It emphasizes common goals, heritage and national pride A pledge of allegiance in any country is a political ploy. The thing that unites the people of any country is their fear of the cultures of other country's being forced upon them. It is like saying how does being forced to recite the Lords prayer every morning before school make you more Christian.
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. I think that's it...

Not in the public schools of Oakland, CA!
There is no Australian pledge of Allegiance. Children do not recite any such pledge in school.
yes
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.
As of 2021, 34 states have laws or policies that require schools to allow time for reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. However, individual students cannot be compelled to participate if they choose not to.
School children first recited the pledge of allegiance in 1892.
1955
October 1892
The children were trained to recite the pledge of allegiance in unison
My wife and I are both public school teachers. And in the state of Michigan it not only isn't illegal, it is said every morning.The pledge of allegiance has not be made illegal in any public school in the US.However what has been made illegal is for the teacher,coach,principle,school board ect to require that every student must recite the Pledge...Due to the religious nature of the Pledge a student can decline to participate in reciting the pledge if it is against their religious beliefs or lack thereof and the student can not be punished for doing so..
