I pledge allegiance to the flag...of Texas?
I just read in Newsweek that it is now law in Texas that kids say a pledge of allegiance to the state of Texas...are they serious? Is this true? Why are you pledging to the flag of Texas? To insure their support against a war with Louisiana?
I just found this a bit odd. I know there is some history of wars with Mexico and the such, but Texas is part of the United States. Kids in the northeast don't pledge allegiance to the original 13 colonies.
