The only thing you're required to do is be respectable and QUIET for the people around you that DO want to pledge.

MINERSVILLE SCH. DIST. V. BOARD OF EDUC., 310 U. S. 586 (1940) -- US Supreme Court Cases from Justia & Oyez seems to allow schools to require that students recite the Pledge, thus the statement by your teacher. If you were implicitly required or prohibited, your teacher's disclosure, while probably facetious, would be moot.
Just guessing,
