do Americans still have to "pledge Alliegance" to the flag every day before school? - or does that only happen in some schools.

Every day in all of my school, both public and private.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE. TO THE FLAG. OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION. UNDER GOD. INDIVISIBLE. WITH LIBERTY, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I've done that so much that I've never thought much about what we've actually been saying, but it is seriously [censored] up come to think of it.
