Jella Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wait, do you seriously have to do the pledge of allegiance in school? I thought that was just in the movies or something, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizyvipr Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wait, do you seriously have to do the pledge of allegiance in school? I thought that was just in the movies or something, lol. It's required by law... "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." It's not required that we have to say it but it's required for the schools to do it everyday in the morning (even though we actually do it during lunch...) I won't recite it...

Cr(+)sshair Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Some history for this thread: The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country. In its original form it read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. At this time it read: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

BooT Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here's how the pledge of allegiance works in my school. Kids get to class by 8:30. They sit down. Kids are walking in late. Speaker comes on at 8:31. Everybody stands. Somehow, everyone manages to get their arm up over their heart. They fall asleep while looking at the flag. They sit back down. Announcement starts. Announcements end. Class starts. And not a word was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaJoy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I stopped saying that in grade school. (6th grade) If you guys still have to say it in Highschool, that is weird as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've always been a little confused as to how the pledge ended up in public school systems. It doesn't seem like nationalism is really something that can be forced during class hours; it has to come from within one's self, and thoughtless recitation won't give you that. It always felt a little Hitler Youthy. Maybe it's just ignorance on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Actually the "Under God" part was removed from a bunch of schools because of conflict of religion...just saying. You can thank Robert Sherman for creating that conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4ithl3ss Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Creepy as fuq The pledge is said at the beginning of the day in a good amount of schools anywhere from K-12. It is not required that you stand up and say it, but it's there for those who would like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_dot Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think the most important part of what it stands for to "US" as in those of us who live in this country weather you agree with who "we" are and "where" we are going it is simply a way to show pride for "God" and "Country". I think a country where we have so many freedoms that others do not and the choice to believe in what we want and choose what we do and where we go is amazing. I've been to countries where this isn't the case and the hell those people live in is horrible. So I think as long as you have pride for which ever God you believe in and pride in whatever country you live in how you show it its up to you. What do you think?
