Pledge of Allegiance

I think that it is truly sad that the schools in USA and here in Canada have foresaken tradition because someone complained. How do we teach our children to be proud of their country and be patriotic and in a sense be proud to an American or a Canadian because we don't want to offend someone. It's bad enough allready around the Holidays to be "politically correct" and not insult someone by saying Merry Christmas or Happy Easter.And people wonder why there's so much angry and frustration in people these days.
