The Pledge of Allegiance currently reads as follows:
"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."
As students originate from various religious backgrounds, requiring students to recite a saying referencing a single deity is insensitive and a clear violation of the seperation of church and state. This petition implies that the Obama Administration should review and revise the Pledge of Allegiance to omit religious references.
