What is "the pledge"?

[nrr]

School children in the US are often required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance[0] as part of the routine to start the school day.

Rise, put your right hand over your heart, and repeat after the person on the public announcement system. Historically, the Bellamy salute was used.
