Absolutely not. As long as it's not disruptive, they are free to say it any way they want. Just as they are free to pray in school of their own volition any way they want (again, as long as it's not disruptive). The issue is that it's coming from the other way, it's the government issuing the religious statement, it's the government passing legislation that says, "The correct way to pledge is by acknowledging God." Personal freedom to acknowledge god=constitutional. Government statements declaring God's jurisdiction over this land=unconstitutional.
