but I do not swear allegiance to any state flag...  Only the flag of The United States of America.

Texas students now pledge allegiance to 'one state, under God'

Note... Ohio does not say allegiance... it says it is saluting the flag and pledging respect and loyalty to the state.  Ohio is also the only state that does not technically have a flag (the proper term is a swallow-tail burgee)...  biggrin.gif  Besides, in Ohio, you don't swear your allegiance to the state... you swear it to The Ohio State University football team!  Go Bucks!  w00t.gif

The pledge to the Texas flag has been around for a long time--more than the article makes it out to be.  My kids have always said it.  The only thing added is the phrase "one state under God" which I haven't heard until just now.  Maybe it will be a new addition for this year.  Actually, I like having the "under God" phrase in there.
