Technically, wouldn't the court only have to strike down the 1956 addition of "under God" as unconstitutional, and not the whole Pledge?
Exactly....and most public schools and public places I've heard of drop it anyway. IMO it never should have been added to begin with....it contradicts the Constitution.

It also breaks up the flow of the pledge IMO. I think that it sounds better without "under god" -- that phrase creates an awkward pause that wasn't there before.

I recited the pledge here in Kansas last year in my senior year of HS. We did not drop "under God" and I don't know any school that does. I am sure those out in California do, however.

And you are wrong. It does not contradict the Constitution.
