It even says it in the story in the OP's post. Even Christian Arabic's use the word Allah in the place of God. Because the word Allah is translated to English as God. If anybody here thinks the students that ran this whole exercise did so to convert anybody to Islam, then I don't think there is a reasonable bone in your body. If you think High School Students have the wherewithall to think this deeply and scheme like this, then there is no hope for you. I'd be willing to bet that they took the words of the Pledge and put it through Google Translate and then read them. Took 5 minutes thought and they ran with it. Everybody needs to calm down and realize that this isn't a social injustice, this is High School Student's thinking globally about as well as our school system can teach them to.
