Something based on the scout oath. "a scout is trustworthy, loyal, honest..." Except based on what an American should be. "An American values the opinions of others, is a safe shot with a gun, does not live with someone without their consent, keeps their property secure, demands due process of the law, uses a lawyer, believes in the jury trail, does not apply cruel punishment, believes there are rights we don't know reserved to us, and believes in limited government" (you should find each article in the bill of rights above) Of course better wordsmiths than I should rewrite that, and we probably need a lot of debate.
Note that I never pledge allegiance. As a christian my allegiance is to God and so it would be a lie to pledge allegiance to anything else. Thus making me recite the common pledge is a violation of the first amendment. (this is much clearer if you read the 12 amendments as originally proposed - for better or worse what actually passed isn't as clear)
"most students"? "every morning"?
My class only did it until we had it memorized, and then never again.

It's about having pride in your community. Nothing wrong with an anthem. But this one does not reflect the values or even represent most of the community it's meant to hype.
Not my type of music, but Kendrick Lamar seem to have hit the right note this summer.

Keep the same wording but replace with operative terms such as flag with Israel!
Just a couple of judicious edits...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all ~~men~~ persons are created equal, that they are endowed ~~by their Creator~~ with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted ~~among Men~~, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.
