There has been a push in Canadian schools to play the National Anthem every day, and the school I teach in says the "Lord's Prayer" every day. As a child, I recall TV signing off every night with "God Save the Queen." Countries love to have patriots, but then it would be really stupid to allow people to become Americans, Canadians, etc., if they wanted to overthrow the country's government. If "under God' is the issue, take it out.
