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.

We said the Pledge, had the National Anthem played and a moment of silent meditation in high school 66-69. In grade school we had The Lord's Prayer, all else remained the same.

It should have never been taken out of schools. I also feel that every student should stand up during the pledge. I know that for religious reasons there are many religions that will not pledge to a flag(nation) their pledge is to God. For this reason I never made the kids say the pledge but they definitely had to stand.

Most definitely bring it back. Many have died for our flag and the left is attempting to wipe out our Nation's identity.

I'm fine with the pledge, if there is taught meaning behind it and allow those that don't wish to participate to stand respectfully while it's being done. There are those that have religious reasons for not participating, those that just don't want to, and a vast majority that will want to.
It would help if we put it back to its original form.

It’s been changed twice in its history. The most recent being in 1954 when the words “under god” were added. We are a melting pot of people, not everyone wants to pledge to whatever god. Just leave it out of these types of things and people will be far less hostile towards it, plus you could then add it back into schools.

We are what we focus on. This is why, as a success coach, I encourage my clients to hang with positive people and avoid negative people. I believe globalist and communists have largely taken over our educational systems. It is in their best interests to not let our young be patriotic and desire to put America first. Therefore, it is imperative we help our children to understand what America is really about and to help them completely identify as Americans.

Basically, I help entrepreneurs figure out how to have a profitable company. I own Life Changers 180, LLC (you can go to our website, http://www.LifeChangers180.org, to get a better idea). My daughter is the CEO. We also have a department that helps people get in shape and another department dedicated to helping people draw closer to God.

This debate started in 1943, while we were in WWII. It was written in 1892 by a socialist. It is not a new debate.
As service members, we have a particular connection to the flag and pledge. We've lived and risked our life for this country and simply cannot understand that those whom we serve can not in return have some of the same loyalty. However, as distasteful as it is, whether or not to participate is part of the First Amendment.
Though, I think this debate is much smaller than we think, heightened by mass media's whim of the day. My son has gone to 6 elementary schools and 3 middle schools from Germany to Hawaii, and every school had the children say the pledge.

Despite what the mainstream media says...it's still in school. My sister says it, my old school district says it, my cousins schools district says it. I think if it has gone away its from liberal areas and schools in big cities. Just my personal thought nothing to support my claim.
