      Which makes a lot more sense then pledging alleigance to the cheap sheet of flexible plastic in the classroom

        The pledge was invented by a flag salesman. So the cheap flag in every classroom is the point.

          I would love to believe this but i can’t find any evidence. Do you have a source?

            People keep linkin to Francis Bellamy’s Wikipedia as source for this. Haven’t read it myself yet. Seems more likely that they capitalized after creation, when they realized some money could be made.

            Can’t imagine theres tons of money in flags but who knows.

              Neat. He was a flag salesman and a Christian socialist.
