Focusing on a mandatory pledge of allegiance isn't something that is beneficial to society. Sure, pledging allegiance to the nation is a good way of showing your support of your nation, but anybody can say things without meaning them. In school, I'd rather spend that one minute of monotonous chanting on something more reliable, like performing a lexicon. Congress has better things to look at - I don't want to waste tax money and valuable time talking about a chant of support where the focus could be put on other more pressing issues, like public smoking or NCLB to name two.

What's ironic is that mandating a pledge is completely oxymoronic.
And moronic, at that.
