In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?

I have never seen the pledge of allegiance recited in a classroom, not met a person who did this.
As far as I can tell, it’s a myth.
I did everyday K-12. Nice to meet you.
I definitely did growing up in elementary school. Every morning, during the school wide announcements, the principle or whoever was talking on the PA system would recite the pledge and students were pretty much expected to stand and put one hand on their chest and at least listen if not recite it.
It seemed to taper off in my middle school years, and basically only ever happened at football games once I was in high-school.
This is all in a fairly blue area of a generally pretty blue state.
Blue state blue country and we were expected to recite the pledge every morning of k-8 (I don’t recall it being a thing in high school.) I remember kids whose parent were politically active being punted out of class for not participating too.
