So here's a question: If requiring the recitation of the pledge in it's current form in a public school is unconstitutional, is the OPTIONAL recitation of that same pledge also unconstitutional?

Or is the fact that the rest of my class is probably going to recite it...coercive? > I agree, but the judge didn't have that option. :-( > > I'm glad he ruled the way he did, though.
