The Supreme Court has stated that citizens cannot be compelled (forced) to recite the pledge. Should this include students/children? Why or why not? Does it matter that these are schools paid for with public funds?

This is more of an opinion based question, you aren't really going to have a right or wrong answer. Personally, I believe everyone should be able to decide whether or not they want to recite our pledge. I stopped standing for the pledge and reciting it in 6th or 7th grade.
