Don't Say The Pledge. Here's why ...
Hemant Mehta (http://www.friendlyatheist.com, http://www.patreon.com/Hemant , https://www.facebook.com/friendlyatheist)
If you're in school, do you stand for the Pledge of Allegiance?
The American Humanist Association recently launched a campaign at dontsaythepledge.com telling students to stand up by sitting down during the Pledge. It's a tough thing to do, because you're just drawing attention to yourself. But let me explain why it makes sense to do it:
First, The words "Under God" weren't in the original Pledge, which was written by Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister. (If you really want to be amused, go look up the Bellamy Salute)
The words "Under God" were added in 1954 when we were still fighting those "Godless Communists" and wanted to differentiate ourselves from them.
The words are a relic of the Cold War. They need to go. But legal challenges haven't worked yet. So for now, we're stuck with it.
What's more, the Pledge used to say we were "one nation, indivisible." But then "under God" was stuck right in between there, dividing us.
By the way, it turns out when you tell people that information I just said, more than a third of Americans support removing those words from the Pledge. (Link: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2014/09/02/survey-shows-that-more-than-a-third-of-americans-support-a-pledge-of-allegiance-without-under-god/)
It's also not really about patriotism. I love this country. But I don't always like what it does and this idea of unquestionable allegiance to it is scary.
If I told you that a nation like Saudi Arabia or North Korea had a mandatory pledge of allegiance to the country that kids had to say in school every day, you'd call that brainwashing.
And why are we pledging to a flag? To a symbol? I know it's convenient in a classroom, but this is part of the reason so many people have trouble understanding the First Amendment.
Ask people if it's okay to burn a flag. A lot of them will be like, "whoa, you can't do that!" Why not? It's a piece of cloth. Any meaning it has is all in our minds. Catholics do this sort of thing with Communion wafers all the time, freaking out if consecrated wafers get in the wrong hands. It's a wafer. No one's eating your God.
So forget the Pledge. Hell, our elected officials should pledge allegiance to us instead.

A look into the origins of the pledge of allegiance – mandatory regurgitation for school children – reveals that it was actually created by a magazine in 1892 in order to sell flags to schools, and the pledge was created by Francis Bellamy to create a reason for schools to buy the flags.
In turn, this social ritual creates cohesion and unity in the mind of
the public with the federal government. Until it was changed, the salute was actually a military salute wherein children then "hailed" the flag in a fashion very similar to what was done in Nazi Germany. American children were instead trained to put their hand over their hearts... and the phrase "under God" wasn't added until 1954 in the Eisenhower Administration – controlled from the shadows by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen.
As a follow up to a question someone left in the comments of the last video...

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of loyalty to the federal flag and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942. The Pledge has been modified four times since its composition, with the most recent change adding the words "under God" in 1954.
Congressional sessions open with the recital of the Pledge, as do government meetings at local levels, and meetings held by many private organizations. It is also commonly recited in school at the beginning of every school day, although the Supreme Court has ruled on several occasions that students cannot be compelled to recite the Pledge, or punished for not doing so.
According to the United States Flag Code, the Pledge of Allegiance reads:
According to the Flag Code, the Pledge "should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present and not in uniform may render the military salute. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute".

What's more, the Pledge used to say we were "one nation, indivisible." But then "under God" was stuck right in between there, dividing us.
By the way, it turns out when you tell people that information I just said, more than a third of Americans support removing those words from the Pledge.

It's also not really about patriotism. I love this country. But I don't always like what it does and this idea of unquestionable allegiance to it is scary.

It's also not really about patriotism. I love this country. But I don't always like what it does and this idea of unquestionable allegiance to it is scary.
If I told you that a nation like Saudi Arabia or North Korea had a mandatory pledge of allegiance to the country that kids had to say in school every day, you'd call that brainwashing.
And why are we pledging to a flag? To a symbol? I know it's convenient in a classroom, but this is part of the reason so many people have trouble understanding the First Amendment.
Ask people if it's okay to burn a flag. A lot of them will be like, "whoa, you can't do that!" Why not? It's a piece of cloth. Any meaning it has is all in our minds. Catholics do this sort of thing with Communion wafers all the time, freaking out if consecrated wafers get in the wrong hands. It's a wafer. No one's eating your God.
So forget the Pledge. Hell, our elected officials should pledge allegiance to us instead.
If you stay seated, and you get in any trouble for it, please let the American Humanist Association know. The site again is DontSayThePledge.com

A look into the origins of the pledge of allegiance – mandatory regurgitation for school children – reveals that it was actually created by a magazine in 1892 in order to sell flags to schools, and the pledge was created by Francis Bellamy to create a reason for schools to buy the flags.
In turn, this social ritual creates cohesion and unity in the mind of
the public with the federal government. Until it was changed, the salute was actually a military salute wherein children then "hailed" the flag in a fashion very similar to what was done in Nazi Germany. American children were instead trained to put their hand over their hearts... and the phrase "under God" wasn't added until 1954 in the Eisenhower Administration – controlled from the shadows by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and his brother Allen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag
On the United States of America
And to the republic for which is stands
One nation under God invisible
With liberty and Justice for all
I pledge of alligiance to the shit
That runs the U.S.A.
And to this public which I can't stand
Government
Inexcusable with poverty and justice
