Quote by: RickSp  Forget the"under God" bit, why should we have a loyalty oath in a free society? The Pledge wasn't even adopted until 1945. It is a relic of the Cold War. I suspect Jefferson and Washington would have been horrified by the idea. |
The pledge was first used in american schools in October of 1892, it was changed in 1923 and again in 1924, the under God was added in june of 1954. It became official in 1942 and was officially named the pledge of allegiance in 1945.
Story & Meaning Pledge
Now with that cleared up, the adding of under God is unconstitutional and should be removed.
