>>937071I would do this. Eventually my teacher was offended and had me speak to a counselor. When she asked why I never said the pledge I said because I don't believe in God. Parents are called and blah blah blah, eventually they let me omit the phrase "under God," but I had to recite the rest of the pledge.
Guess what? My teacher was offended that I would never say "under God."
