There has been debate in the past few years whether or not to take it out. People that are agnostic, atheist, or of different religions may think that it isn't right to have the name of a religious being to be in something that kids say everyday at school in a secular country.
Though it should be noted that students (or anyone for that matter) aren't required to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Should there be a pause between one nation and under God in the pledge of alligiance?
No, there should not. A comma would indicate a pause, but one was not included when the pledge was updated in 1954. To me, saying, "one nation under God" without a pause sounds much better.

Did Obama omit the words under god in the pledge?
No, he never did. He says the pledge of allegiance the way it has been since 1954. However, it should be noted that when the pledge was originally written in the 1890s, it did not have the words "under God." That phrase was inserted during the McCarthy era, to show that America was different from the Soviet Union-- we believed in God, and they did not. That said, contrary to many internet myths, President Obama has never disrespected the flag, has never refused to say the pledge, and always says it correctly.
Is Pledge of allegiance back in school?
Yes, the pledge of allegiance is still in schools. In a lot of schools across America, children and young adults are saying the pledge of allegiance. Some are not allowing the phrase "under God" in the pledge, for not everyone believes in God, and it is only respectful.
Should you say a club pledge before the pledge of allegiance?

What was added to the pledge of allegiance in 1954?
"Under God..."
Should the Pledge of Allegiance be Changed?
what's wrong with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America? Most of us have said it since we were young children, with pride and gratefulness. Well, it is really a matter of opinion. I personally beleive that it should, since the pledge distinctly says "...one nation, under god..." and there are many Americans in the public school system that are either Atheists, Agnostics, or any other religion that does not worship god. For that matter, it souldn't say "In god we trust" on the dollar bill, but that's a completely different debate.
