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.

No, it is not a law that school children must recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Schools can offer the Pledge as an option, but participation should be voluntary.
The bible says nothing about the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 in the United States, which did not technically exist as a nation until 1776.
