Nothing. There would be no replacement and the pledge would fade from memory.

Nothing. Maybe a βgood morning, do your best, and remember to be kind todayβ
The Nicene Creed
"most students"? "every morning"?
My class only did it until we had it memorized, and then never again.

Just a couple of judicious edits...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all ~~men~~ persons are created equal, that they are endowed ~~by their Creator~~ with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted ~~among Men~~, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.
Okay replacing men with persons is just nitpicking, and I don't think it's grammatically correct.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and youβll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.

i don't think the government would like that, democrat or Republican
I have never seen the pledge of allegiance recited in a classroom, not met a person who did this.
As far as I can tell, itβs a myth.
I definitely did growing up in elementary school. Every morning, during the school wide announcements, the principle or whoever was talking on the PA system would recite the pledge and students were pretty much expected to stand and put one hand on their chest and at least listen if not recite it.
It seemed to taper off in my middle school years, and basically only ever happened at football games once I was in high-school.
This is all in a fairly blue area of a generally pretty blue state.

I pledge allegiance to the drag of the United Queens of America.
It's about having pride in your community. Nothing wrong with an anthem. But this one does not reflect the values or even represent most of the community it's meant to hype.
Not my type of music, but Kendrick Lamar seem to have hit the right note this summer.
