Try taking an entire martial arts class with your sneakers on, theyd also ask you to leave... I guess those indivduals are all conformist sheep as well.

Why is everyone missing the point? You're comparing apples and oranges.. how? What if that martial arts class asked you to take your shoes and give thanks to a religious figure... The pledge of allegiance is defied not because of it representing America - it's defied because of WHAT IT SAYS... One nation, under
GOD... Yes you should be respectful to your country regardless of where you are. But religion is a VERY touchy subject these days.
It's like asking Native Americans to celebrate Columbus day or Thanksgiving when we all knew Columbus discovered America, but he ALSO slaughtered many indians.
