I agree with you for the most part, but I also think a compromise could be reached here. Leave "under God" in the pledge, but don't force people to say those two words if they don't agree with them. It seems like that would make everyone happy.

You can't force someone to say the words. That is the whole point!!!! Even beofre the 9th circuit, you could not force someone to say "under God." I sometimes chose to leave out "indivisible" myself.
The Scotus has made it clear for decades that you can't force someone to participate in the Pledge if it is against their beliefs.
