....make sure you remind them that when they recite the Pledge of Allegience [sic] on Monday, they are paying homage to the author.......a SOCIALIST.
Happy New Year
"The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of loyalty to the federal flag and the republic of the United States of America."
This cracks me up and is in complete opposition to what the Christian socialist stood for!
In 1891, Daniel Sharp Ford, the owner of the Youth's Companion, hired Bellamy to work with Ford's nephew James B. Upham in the magazine's premium department. In 1888, the Youth's Companion had begun a campaign to sell American flags to public schools as a premium to solicit subscriptions. For Upham and Bellamy, the flag promotion was more than merely a business move; under their influence, the Youth's Companion became a fervent supporter of the schoolhouse flag movement, which aimed to place a flag above every school in the nation. By 1892, the magazine had sold American flags to approximately 26,000 schools. By this time the market was slowing for flags, but was not yet saturated.
