I think teaching religion is good but preaching it should never happen in public schools.
I can understand the principle of not reciting the Pledge of Allegience or singing O Canada, but for what it's really worth I'd say just do it. You aren't going to change anything by not doing it, and it's really not that big of a deal in my opinion. Nobody put the word god in there to offend atheists and agnostics. Or if you really have a problem with it maybe you could try to write a new pledge/song and get the government behind it.

I think the problem behind the Pledge of Allegiance is that many people infer "god" from a Christian standpoint. I hope that makes sense.
