Whom are these "many people" you've spoken to that discover such a horrific "true nature" (which itself should be defined) ?
Your reply is intrigueing.
Some of the many people I’ve discussed this with in the recent past include teachers, educational admistrators, a legislator who was perturbed enough to listen and take it to heart, and an assortment of people in business and the military who though surprised did investigate for themselves. I’ve been asked before to write a private essay for soem of their groups. I encourage people to look into it for themselves and look very very closely at the history of the American educational system and its links to the socialist-Communist movements since the American Revolution. The Pledge of Allegiance and its history are inextricably linked to the socialist-marxist agenda in the United States. The NEA was founded in 1857 by a socialist/Marxist, and the Pledge of Allegiance was written to help the NEA achieve its socialist-Marxist agendda.
