Should we bring back the Pledge of Allegiance? I remember as I went through Grade School we use to say this every morning and it gave me a sense of pride and purpose each day! Are the youth of today missing this and will they every understand what it truly means?
Your thoughts and comments are welcome?
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Our Pledge of Allegiance as we know it is fast becoming a thing of the past. Kids used to say the Pledge of Allegiance along with a prayer before starting the day’s activities.
Below you will see the very touching recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance as told by Red Skelton. They Pledge as we should still teach our children.
Also listed is the “Global Earth Day Pledge” that our children are learning today. Again this is Global. Everything will go global in the “End Times”. This is just another way to ease everyone into it. Be Prepared. It is coming.
On January 14, 1969, Red Skelton touched the hearts of millions of Americans with his "Pledge Of Allegiance", in which he explained the meaning of each and every word. Red Skelton's recitation of the "Pledge of Allegiance" was twice read into the Congressional Record of the United States and received numerous awards.
RED SKELTON: "I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name... He said": "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge Of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word:
I
Me; an individual; a committee of one.
Pledge
Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.
Allegiance
My love and my devotion.
To the Flag
Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.
of the United
That means that we have all come together.
States
Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.
And to the Republic
Republic -- a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation
One Nation -- meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible
Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty
Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice
The principle, or quality, of dealing fairly with others.
For All
For All -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
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.

Yes it should at least through High School .... It is part of History, it is not an Idol symbol it is a living reminder of sacrafise(s) made by men & women who came before us an by men & women who are continuing to serve and sacrafise today. (I also beleive that it is relavent to show the Red Skeliton Video of the Pleadge of Allegiance to the young/youth).

I have spoken to Muslim parents, and they say "yes"! We should give reverence to God every day. It's these atheists who hate God and want him out of their lives including their children's lives as well. They are tax payers. I say we have atheist schools. I know there are big towns that can support this idea. Then we can do sociological experiments, and prove that our godly children are happier than the worldly ones.

I agree on the condition that it is the original Pledge as written by the author (who was a minister, by the way); not the McCarthy era version.

I was at a graduation the other day at a elementary school. I was so glad and proud that they did just before classes started. I was in the gym with others waiting for the graduation when this and a moment of silence was asked. But there's always a butt, I noticed a group of folks that did not stand are remain silent, everyone was so proud of me for not choke slamming someone. If you don't want to stand and show respect then sit there shut the hell up!!! Next time I are a brother are sister my not be so restrained. Thank God for meds

Don't tell anyone, but in my part of the country, prayers are spoken at most major events. No one is required to pray, just don't.

Amish, Menonites and some others do not take Oaths, as part of their religious beliefs

Yes I know some others but they still will stand and just remain silent out of respect for those around them.

Highest Respect to You Colonel as Always. If My Grandchildren choose too. Good for them. Force them To, Hell Not. My Family has always Been "Patriots" but if it is Forced, It loses it's Meaning to Me. It is No More than the "Blood Oath" of the Nazi's I'm German American and I'm also Jewish German American, I will never have any association with Fascism disguised as "Patriotism".

Government Hill Elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska is a Spanish language immersion public school. They recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish. Pretty cool.
