Although I'd accept the argument that it could/should be altered.

... It's just a f**kin flag.
What a flag represents changes from person to person.

I must say I heard a little bit about it but what I did hear sounded a bit old fashion Nazi-Jugend like to me. Kids pledging to the flag and such, not to mention imaginary-friends-in-the-sky, the state breeding nice obedient sitizensheep for future use. The concept is totally unpleasant sounding to most people in the country I grew up in, specially with the memory of flag waving nazis occupying our country in the not-so-long past history it has a bad rep to be uber-patriotic.
If it's anything like I described above, I'd say get rid of it, if it's not, please explain, I didn't vote yet.
The original pledge hand positioning was very.. uhhm.. interesting:
