The original 1892 wording worked for my grandparents.
I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
My parents had to learn the 1924 version.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
That's also how I learned it in 1952. When I went back to school in September 1954 we had to add the new words because someone named Eisenhower said so.
Now I use the version I learned in Grade K because I want to. No drama involved.
I find the Pledge of Allegiance antithetical to the Declaration of Independence.
“one Nation indivisible” is entirely at odds with the principle “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”
