I understand what you are saying to a degree. It's especially nice when I run into people from other state's who say in a serious tone, mocking or otherwise "Don't mess with Texas" But Texas isn't a soverign nation anymore and hasn't been for quite a long time, so it just seems weird to me to pledge allegience to a state as if it were a nation. But hey, if kids wanna do it, let them do it. I'm not fond of flag saluting in general whatever the case may be, but if Texas decides they want to secede from the Union and reform The Republic of Texas, I'll gladly pledge allegience to the State/National flag every morning just for the novelty sake of it.
