    Atlanta school eliminates Pledge of Allegiance recitation

    Students will be given the opportunity to say the pledge at another point during the school day, and the decision was made "in an effort to begin our day as a fully inclusive and connected community," according to the release.

    The release went on to say "Over the past couple of years it has become increasingly obvious that more and more of our community were choosing to not stand and/or recite the pledge."

    Students will continue to be asked to stand to participate in the school's Wolf Pack Chant each morning, and "teachers and the K-5 leadership team will be working with students to create a school pledge that we can say together at morning meeting," the release said.

    The statement said "This pledge will focus on students' civic responsibility to their school family, community, country and our global society."

    Since when has the Pledge been defined and reclassified to be “exclusive”? Probably not to offend all the illegal immigrant’s children attending? Brainwashing.

    What I read was that students were decreasing in participation....(( that translates, kids see no value in it so we discontinued it...but the truth is the adults see no value in it and conveyed that to the kids..What kids are not taught to honor they grow up dishonoring....

    When I was in school I didn't realize I had a choice.

    But exactly what you said, it's the adults, not the kids.

    School Eliminates Pledge of Allegiance to Unite Parents, Then Changes Course

    But after the newspaper reported on the elimination of the Pledge, and a backlash followed, the school changed the policy back to the original model...
