I was a pledge resister in high school. Bringing God into it is probably a violation of some students rights but my main beef was with the ugliness of flag worship and enforced nationalism. To me, it just looks like something more appropriate to an unfree society, where the maintenance of the state is the most important value. The fun part of this whole thing is watching the politicians posturing, its a beautiful thing.
