At my school, we have to say the pledge of allegience. Yet, we aren't allowed to learn about evolution.

Some schools you just don't have to say the pledge. I had to at my old school when I was in elementary. When I got to High school, we didn't do it anymore. Maybe Public school don't do it anymore?

It's a very controversial issue. They wanted to change the lyrics...try finding something on google about it.

im go to high school in a public school, and we still say the pledge

EDIT: This pledge stuff in high school is news to me. What the hell is the point of reciting the PoA every day? It's of little value if you are being forced to say it. Not only that but forcing kids that don't want to do it for whatever reaosn amounts to brainwashing in my book.

If I'm not mistaken, the Pledge contains "one nation under God". Seperation of church and state probably resulted in it. People didn't want anything refering to God to be there.

That phrase was added for nonsense reasons anyway. To ascribe allegiance to any one religion is an abomonation of the reasons why this country was settled in the first place. It pisses me off just thinking about it.
