no students are not required to say the pledge of allegiance freedom of speech. you can even get a lawyer on a teacher just for forcing you to stand up for the pledge.

Answer

I know it's old school, but I am still proud of this country and its citizens. There was no issue with the pledge in the past for those reasons. As for the addition to the under God part, the country's official motto is "In God We Trust".

America remains a melting pot and as the threat of terror increases, I believe this pledge is as important as ever in today's society. I hope there will come a day when all students, parents, teachers and citizens will embrace this and all join together in the pledge. That being said, it is not manditory that student's participate because of the freedom of speech ammendment in the Bill of Rights.
