Not only do we do the US Pledge, but here in Texas we also do the Texas Pledge as well.
For the 8 years Obama was in office, my son would not pledge to the American flag. I explained that the flag, which my father fought under in Korea, represented all Americans, even those who died gmfor our freedoms. While he was always respectful to vets, and never failed to thank them for their service or shake their hands if he could, he would pledge to a country stupid enough to elect a man so hostile to our conservative values.
He always said the pledge to the Texas flag.
Now that Trump is in the White House, he says the pledge daily, loudly, and proudly. Trumps election gave him hope that America was not completely lost.
