These should not be confused with the relatively new "Take A Knee Chant"

Take a knee chant is only allowed for black professional multi millionaire football players who feel bad about the way the cops mistreat them.

Even the original version you posted reads, "...the Republic for which it stands." so it couldn't have been used for any country. Their Wolf Chant they said they were working on it. So far what they say they want in it does not sound like things which promote allegiance to our country. But rather they sound like they want togetherness. So I disagree with your suggestion to relax.

JoyV I only posted what was written, "any" does not mean... all...comprendo... it also read that he had hoped,feel free to read the post: http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm

It looked as if they were getting ready for a football game or something. I would much prefer my child would learn and recite the pledge of allegiance as to this chant. I would also approve of the star spangled banner as well.

Thanks Morgan. If by the word, "all" you are refering to its use in the pledge, it is only found at the end. "...with liberty and justice to all." But if you mean I should have said all countries instead of any country, the point is even more dramatically made. If Frances Bellamy wanted this pledge to be for ALL (instead of ANY) country; the use of the words, "...and the republic for which it stands..." fits even less.

In any case, I am opposed to foregoing starting the school day with the Pledge of Allegiance. Any student can choose to sit it out. But that many do should be a reason to eliminate it. Instead including American History (not to the exclusion of world history) and Civics may actually cause some students to rethink why they want to sit out the pledge. If not, it certainly can't hurt. To tell the kids that they can dictate the rules; is a mistake even if it weren't for something so fundamental to our country.

Just the complete opposite Dave, just because something is new, does not mean it is anti of what was, but rather be more inclusive for all.

One nation with Liberty and justice for all. Does the word all still mean all inclusive?

This is something completely different, some super chant, BTW do they look like elementary kids to you, are you trying to mislead people? I would like to know the actual words of the elementary school before passing judgments.

Or white millionaire athletes that listen to Vanilla Ice CDs.

I think it's a great topic for the kids in school to discuss, why are people taking a knee and are we at a time to add some verses.. what would they add if they could to promote peace and harmony? But to re-pledge your allegiance every day seems a bit redundant and cultish to me... over the top. I'd rather have them sing God Bless America or America the Beautiful, once you've made your pledge, you should be good to go.

It was my understanding, he tried to write it for it to be open to any country to use if they so chose to. In mentioning a republic, he did scale down those choices, maybe that didn't occur to him or maybe he thought they'd implement their own substitutions, who knows.
