    In “Why the Pledge of Allegiance Should Be Revised”, Gwen Wilde argues that the pledge of allegiance is being more religious than patriotic. She claims that saying the words, “under God” is inappropriate, because it’s stating that everyone believes in the same god and it is ironically dividing our “indivisible” nation along religious lines. However, I disagree with her claim, because the phrase “under God is just a Phrase. Of course the pledge has been changed over time, but it was for good reasons. People can interpret the phrase however they want, but the nation is still indivisible.…

    The Pledge of Allegiance, as it is currently written, has no place in the elementary public school system. The pledge was meant to be inclusive and to instill a sense of patriotism among American’s. However, when you force people to be united under one God then it is no longer inclusive.

America’s job is to prevent that from happening by electing people to represent them in government. The people vote for those whom they think will best represent them, the people vote for who has the same ideals as them, and the people vote depending on which specific party they register.…
