In the year 2024, they apparently still say the Pledge of Allegiance in school, but it doesn’t include the phrase “Under God” and there’s still controversy when people don’t stand during its recitation.

At least that’s the world envisioned in the new CW show “Star-Crossed.”

Was it a court decision or did it happen by legislative mandate?

When did the change take place?

I want answers! Don’t turn into another “Lost”!

Unfortunately, the show’s writers seem more interested on things like “characters” and “plot development” and “interpersonal relationships” and other things that don’t matter at all. Hmph.
