A Carrolton couple sued the state on behalf of their children challenging the constitutionality of the new phrase in the pledge to the Texas flag, "one state, under god."
That phrase was added to the pledge by lawmakers last session and was said in public school classrooms for the first time this week. A Dallas federal court has upheld the language for now. Attorney General Greg Abbott says in a written statement that he believes the courts will continue to uphold the new language just as courts have upheld "one nation under god" in the pledge to the U.S. flag.
Text of the Pledge of allegiance to the Texas flag.
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."
