I saw this "unashamed" to say the real pledge of allegiance with "under God" post on Facebook and I just had to make an alternative. So this what I wish our pledge would be like! Do you like it, possible changes? Let me know!

That’s about how I say it, the rare times I actually ‘say it.’ I’m always the first one done

My history teacher was always the last one done, because he added two words to the end: "I hope".

@AmyTheBruce Having worked within classrooms, my eventual district limited ‘the pledge’ to one day a week. Most students were disinterested, and I didn’t help 
I am against loyalty oaths in general - but especially oaths uttered, under coersion, by children. I do not wish for a better pledge of allegiance; I wish for its abolishment.

Why have a pledge at all?

Up until the 1950s, there wasn't any. The "Pledge" was one of those early Cold War psyops gimmicks ( like the "American Dream" ), designed to separate the 'patriots' from the 'commies' in kindergarten.
@davknight it's not like they give you any other choice of you don't like the pledge (other than become a GOP representative) and I'm pretty sure a very significant percentage would leave tomorrow if given one. So as is, it's less of a pledge and more of a shot gun wedding.
