"The pledge at 120 and beyond"
Description
"Indeed, the pledge's great unresolved question is the primary question now facing us. The pledge closes with a promise of "liberty and justice for all." Yet these two ideals are uneasy partners. Can one person take actions that harm society at large in the name of freedom? Can our government determine each citizen's fair share in the name of justice?"
Sebastian Swett looks at the Pledge as an opportunity for Americans to prove they are truly in support of the ideals that have made America great. In both reciting and refusing to stand for the pledge, Americans have the opportunity to see what the United States can become.
