Yet in the 1400s an English explorer named Christopher Columbus. This land, discovered by the English and already inhabited by the Native Americans, was created into the country we have today. Yet, throughout the years of creating this country more then just natives and English, many foreign people raced across the Atlantic to be apart of the country, to experience freedom and equality that was a guarantee, no matter what your situation. Unfortunately, the people judged and some disappointing events occurred in our history; these events repeat their selves, as our country gets older. Today, in the 21st century, we still have many …show more content…
I was just required to remember it and put my right hand over my heart; now that I am older I understand what the pledge really means, the pledge is our devotion to the country and, our silent thank you to the troops. The troops who fight for our freedom, to reassure our safety in this country; they even go as far to help other countries create their own freedom; the American troops deserve all of the credit to our country, sure the politicians do a nice job, but the dedication to our country the troops provide is unbelievable, they are brave enough to die for the citizens of our country, the ones they don 't even know. Our pledge is our way to saying thank you for the all of the past, present, and future troops; it is also a thank you to the brilliant politicians, every now and then we get a politician that knows just how great certain laws or ideas can be for our country. Really, it what way we mean our pledge to the flag, should determine what it means to be a true

    Originally written as a salute to the American flag, the Pledge of Allegiance has been recited by millions of schoolchildren every morning since its debut during the 1892 Columbus Day Celebration. The revised oath is viewed as a patriotic representation of America’s virtues. Above all national symbols, nothing has provoked as much controversy as the issue on the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Beginning in the early 2000s, there has been an increase in schools dismissing the Pledge from their morning routines after some have argued that it violates the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. The Pledge of Allegiance should be rehearsed in public schools because it reminds students of the country’s founding principles,…

    The words, “the flag of the united States of America,” were added in 1923, and the mistake of inserting, “under god,” took place in 1954. Since then, the Pledge of Allegiance has read, “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.” This version of the pledge of allegiance has been read in most schools across the nation for many years, but it’s time for people to recognize that not everyone believes in the idea of a god or gods. The pledge of allegiance needs to be revised. The Pledge of Allegiance has been left unchanged for 84 years.…

    Justice Sandra Day O’Conner said in the Newdon Pledge case, “[T]he presence of these words is not absolutely essential to the Pledge as demonstrated by the fact that it existed without them for over 50 years.” (D) The words that Justice O’Conner refers to are “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. Ever since they were added, there has been a debate on whether these words should remain in the Pledge, or should be removed because of religious complaints. Some say these words constitute a form of prayer, but others say God is what this country is based on.…

    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. While this was created over 100 years after the American Revolution, the Pledge of Allegiance rings loud for those who do and do not have the freedoms that are part of the United States Constitution, which was originally ratified in 1788. During that time, there were two distinct groups that were lobbying for their freedoms. There were poor men and non-Protestant men that wanted to feel as if they were a part of the equality that the constitution and the Declaration of Independence from 1776 proclaimed. Those that could not make ends meet, were less successful in safe guarding their own ‘revolution’ than those that dealt with religion.…

    The Pledge of Allegiance, as it is currently written, has no place in the elementary public school system. The pledge was meant to be inclusive and to instill a sense of patriotism among American’s. However, when you force people to be united under one God then it is no longer inclusive. Particularly, children do not have the cognitive ability to fully comprehend this pledge. The department of education, local school districts or principles should mandate the recitation of the pledge of allegiance in elementary schools nor should they impose any penalties on the children.…
