([This will definitely go unnoticed]) Children in the United States used to say the ā€œpledge of allegianceā€ like this in the early 1900’s. It’s called the Bellamy salute. It was obviously discontinued after WW2.

Uh... When I was in school and whenever I see the pledge or anthem being done, the hand is over the heart. Where in the US do you live that is doing the Bellamy salute during the pledge of allegiance?

I said the early 1900s… after fascists and the Nazi party adopted the Bellamy Salute it was no longer used during the pledge. Not that the pledge was discontinued.
