Schoolchildren to pledge allegiance to the Queen?

Schoolchildren to pledge allegiance to the Queen?

Schoolchildren could be expected to pledge allegiance to the Queen and respect for the law, under new recommendations aimed at strengthening Britons’ sense of citizenship. Lord Goldsmith’s recommendations also include a new public holiday to celebrate "Britishness" along the lines of Australia Day. What do you think?

    No point i would(and other teens) rebel against it. Laws ok. If it were just that it'd be yes. But I don't know the Queen, would you pledge allegiance to someone you didn't know?
