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.

Actually, the question is irrelevant because the Pledge of Allegiance was never taken away.
Someone has been perpetrating a political hoax to stir people up.
The Pledge of Allegiance is still recited each morning in most, if not all, Public Schools across the country. 43 States, in fact, have laws that REQUIRE educators to lead their classes in the Pledge of Allegiance each morning.

If I was an American business man in a foreign country, and my children went to a foreign school, would I expect them to make a pledge to the foreign country's flag?

What are you talking about?
The PoA is still done in the vast majority of schools....even so, it is not needed to be patriotic.
As for prayer, it needs to be kept out of schools. School is for learning, of you want to pray...do it in a Church, there are hundreds of thousands.
Anyway, you are supposed to pray in private, not public....read your bible.
Better yet, read the U.S. Constitution!

No one should be compelled to recite a loyalty pledge to the flag. If students want to obviously they should be allowed to. But it shouldn’t be part of the indoctrination of our students in public schools. It’s a rather authoritarian practice of the government is coercing students to say it.
In a free country civilians do not have to make loyalty pledges. When you listen to the words it really doesn’t make sense anyway. Why Pledge allegiance to a national symbol like the flag? The flag can change one day. Makes more sense to pledge allegiance to the people of the United States of America. We’re what really matters, not our government symbols.
Just my take on it.
