The Pledge to the Flag is a solemn promise of allegiance to the United States.  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.”

Public school children first recited the pledge as they saluted the flag during the National School Celebration held in 1892.  In 1942, Congress made the pledge part of its code for the use of the flag.  In 1954, it added the words: “under God.”

It seems we have a lot of school administrators who are trying to do away with this pledge at our schools.  One such principal tried this just this week and failed.  When they are called on the carpet – they always resort to the tired old story – I was just trying to make them think about our government.  How weak can you be!  Ladies and gentlemen this is what is wrong with our educational system in this country – all of these people are not there to teach our children – they all have an agenda.  This principal should be reduced in rank to say the least.
