Pledge of Allegiance is something that many homeschooling families do the day they start. It is also what many adults assume. In the school we learn the child and that’s it. But, for the children of the household, learning what the pledge of fidelity is and where the interest comes from.
History of the League of Nations
Do you know that the Pledge of Allegiance that we say today was not the first? Four changes were made, most recently in 1954. Francis Bellamy was a Baptist minister and socialist who took the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892. In the same year he wrote public schools was recited on Columbus Day for the Presidential Proclamation, the first pledge of the Covenant was said to be in the schools. Congress approved the pledge version in 1942. Since then it has been changed four times!
The former pledge of fidelity was:
I pledge my allegiance to my flag and to the republic, to which it belongs: a united nation with liberty and undivided justice for all.
Until 1923 the only small change was the addition of “to”;
I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the state for which it stands: one nation with liberty and undivided justice for all.
then there is another small change. The word “my” before the flag was replaced with “in”. Access also “from the United States”. This version until 1924;
I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the United States and to the state for which it stands: one nation with liberty and justice for all undivided
There was another small change that lasted until 1954. The addition of “America”;
I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands; a nation united with liberty and justice undivided for all.
In 1954, the last change of the modern era was made to the pledge of allegiance that we read today. An addition to these controversial phrases “under God.” Aloisius A. Sagittarius is considered to be the beginning of the pulse to approach that phrase. In 1954, after Congress passed the bill, President Eisenhower signed it into law. This speech led to much discussion;
I support the flag of the United States of America. , and of the state for which the nation is one under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
Do you say that the pledge of loyalty is good?
There are those who feel that reciting the pledge is the way to the loyalty of the country. It gives a sense of pride in the country. But there are others who feel that such a commitment is made against the very principles of the republic’s democracy. They feel that saluting or vowing to the flag or country is not in the spirit of the country’s founding. There are those who object to the pledge of fidelity, for religious reasons. For some people to bind the flag is a kind of idolatry, which goes against many religious dogmas. For there are some who, feeling their religion strictly, forbid to bind themselves to any power or to be that which is not God.
Others specifically say under God in pledge. They claim that the United States officially supports the religion that prevails. For those who worship differently, think that they have more gods than one, or that they do not think so. Everyone has an opinion about the stake.
What does the pledge of fidelity mean?
Often in younger children the meaning of the guarantee is lost. You would like to have an example of this discussion with your homeschoolers so that they know what the Pledge of Allegiance means.
I promise
A pledge of promise. So when you say something you promise to do it. You can pledge to be good to your parents, pledge to clean your room, etc.
office
Faithfulness is faith. When you are a good friend you are loyal to someone. You do not speak ill of them; You are always nice to them.
To the flag
The flag is a symbol of the country. When you say the Pledge of Allegiance, you typically face the flag and salute or place your hand over your heart to show how serious you are.
I pledge allegiance to the flag Citizenship of the United States of the United States
That is, you promise to be a good friend of the country, the USA. For older students home school students, you can discuss in more depth what duties United States citizens have that include. suffrages, service to the armed forces, knowledge of the state of the country, etc.
and the republic
A republic is a place where people can vote and choose their leaders and decide what to follow. People are free to agree or disagree and it’s OK to differ. This type of site is United.
For what it stands
The flag of the United States is a symbol of this type of place, country.
one nation
In United States, although it has fifty states, even one work is stronger.
Under God
For those who say this sentence in arras (perhaps not) God can mean different things. There are many who have different opinions about the country. This sentence is intended to show that a higher power blesses or looks upon a certain kind of place in the United States of America.
Individuals
A divisible half can be divided in such a way that you know when an apple is in two. He adds the preposition “in” means “not”. therefore the indivisible medium cannot be divided. That’s just our country. Our country cannot be separated. Our country is strong and cannot be disbanded by any means.
With freedom
Freedom means freedom. In the United States we can make choices and do what we want. We don’t have to be like everyone else.
And justice
Justice means fairness. The country does its best to make everything fair to everyone, and no one favors the other.
For everyone.
Because everyone
And therefore the pledge of fidelity might be restored by saying
The flag is a symbol of our country, the United States of America, which is a place where we can make choices, vote and vote well. This is a country where a higher power thinks we are a good country (if we believe in a higher power). Our country will always be united and strong because of it. Our country makes faithful people free and people are treated fairly. I promise to be a good and faithful friend to this republic – The United States of America
