You previously pledged allegiance to the flag itself, and now you’re additionally pledging allegiance to the republic for which the flag stands

This is why I think that we should remove the pledge of allegiance from schools until kids are old enough to understand what they're actually saying. There are only 3 countries that have had pledges of allegiance: 1940s Germany, North Korea, and the USA.
