ok.. in school im in a mixed homeroom with all grades because its the british exchange homeroom. Anyway theres this freshman girl who always changes the words to the pledge of alliance. I myself dont preticipate in the pledge because i dont loike talking to inanimate object, i like saying a silent prayer for the soldiers instead. So when everyone is saying the pledge she is saying ..."for 5 nations under nothing with liberty and justice for noone" it just really bugs me either say it or dont, dont be disrespectful.. does anyone else agree?

Personally I think everyone in the class should be allowed to kick her in the shins

I agree with you. It is very disrespectful.
It is the exact same way I feel about the title, "President".
When someone calls any president, MISTER--it shows a gross disrespect for the OFFICE they hold.
Many people believe they are showing a disrespect for the person. In this girl's case it is similar...she thinks she's showing a disrespect for the government....but she's really showing how little she understands and knows about what our flag stands for, why we say the pledge and how this is an expression of honor for our COUNTRY....not our government, it is a symbol of what America stands for... It is only a symbol.
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.",
Here is an interesting note:
These words [“under God”] will remind Americans that despite our great physical strength we must remain humble. They will help us to keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man, and upon which our way of life is founded.

I do agree, I would tell her about it, its very direspectful! But remember there is always people like this in the world, sometimes you just have to ignore them, she might be doing this for attention.

No...free speech is the basis of free society...she can say what she likes and you are free to say nothing in turn.

I think that is totally disrespectful and she should just keep her mouth shut.
