In San Diego Old Town we came across this recontruction of an old schoolhouse and couldnt resist a bit of role-play.

The Pledge on the board here is not the current version, but we do say it in school everyday. In Texas, we also say the 'Texas pledge'....."Honor the Texas Flag, we pledge allegiance to thee, Texas! One and indivisible!".
This tradition harks back to the days when Texas was annexed to the rest of the states. As a result, the 'Lone Star State' has always maintained a strong sense of individuality.
