I would like to see every school replace the pledge with morning and evening Colors (the ceremony in which we raise and lower the national flag daily). Play the anthem at 0800, make everyone stand at attention, salute (as appropriate, based on attire: hats off, hand over heart, or a proper hand salute if uniformed)).
Do the same at sunset, although there'll be fewer people there. Put signs on the road: All traffic must stop during Colors.
Teach our children to respect the anthem and the flag as symbols of the best of our nation, then let them work out their own ideology as they mature.
