The Amish don't say The Pledge Of Allegiance. However in a public school and Amish child would say it.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."In the United States, when one says the Pledge of Allegiance, a person is literally "pledging" or promising their loyalty or "allegiance", thus it is where the names comes from. An American not only pledges loyalty to his/her state but to the entire United States. Americans say it in front of the US flag, because the flag is the American symbol of the allegiance of each state to the nation as a whole. To say the "Pledge" is also promising your loyalty to your government, recognizing that the United States are one, single undivided nation and pledging to honor and value the liberties given to you by the Constitution.
