Pledge of Allegiance must end!
Nazi boot clicking pledge of allegiance japanese
If you have ever seen films in which Nazi officers click their boot heels together then you have seen what is known as the "American salute" as German national socialists borrowed it from American national socialists via the USA's Pledge of Allegiance, the origin of the Nazi salute and of Nazi behavior (see the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry).
(the photo above shows Japanese Americans in a USA internment camp being drilled in the USA's Pledge of Allegiance with its Nazi salute).
"When Bellamy finished writing the pledge in August, 1892, he showed it to Upham. The pledge still did not have a salute. Upham came to attention, snapped his heels together and chanted, 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' and he stretched out his right arm and hand with palm up while he recited the rest of the pledge." That was James Upham and the quote is from Miller, Margarette S. (1976). Twenty Three Words: A Biography of Francis Bellamy : Author of the Pledge of Allegiance.
In practice the Pledge gesture was performed palm down (the Nazi salute) by bored children forced to do the daily robotic worship of the state, who merely stretched the military salute outward to point at the flag, as shown in historic photos and video in Dr. Curry's work.
Note that other answers cannot actually provide a citation for the various claims of how old the gesture is. I submit that the oldest citation that has support is this one that dates to Francis Bellamy and 1892.
The Pledge continues to be the source of Nazi behavior in the USA and elsewhere. Francis Bellamy was an American national socialist and influenced German national socialists, the dogma, gestures, rituals and symbols (including the use of the swastika as crossed S-letters for "socialism"). Hitler learned the American nazi gesture from Harvard grad Ernst Hanfstaengl.
It was not an "ancient Roman salute" as the ancient Roman salute is a debunked myth. The concept of the Roman salute did not even exist until around the 1920's (see the work of Dr. Rex Curry and also the Oxford English Dictionary for proof ...of how recent the phrase and concept "Roman salute" is).

The painting "Oath of the Horatii" does not show the "ancient Roman salute" and the painter never used that phrase or concept, as that phrase/concept did not exist at that time. The painting shows three people reaching for weapons and two of them are using the left hand. Similarly, Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892) did not use the phrase/concept "ancient Roman salute" as that phrase/concept did not exist during the time that Bellamy created the pledge (1892).
Bellamy clearly explained the origin of the early pledge salute (a military salute extended outward to point at the flag). In practice the second gesture was performed palm down by disinterested children forced into the robotic daily chanting ritual. Francis Bellamy was from Rome, New York (not Rome, Italy).
The Oath of Horatii lie was created by liars on Wakipedia after the liars were exposed when wikipedia previously lied that old Roman statues showed the ancient Roman salute, and all those wikipedia lies were deliberately manufactured in an effort to hide the truth that was exposed by Dr. Curry (that the USA and the Pledge of Allegiance is the origin of the Nazi salute and of Nazi behavior).
Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy (cousins and cohorts) were American national socialists who influenced German national socialists (nazis).
The USA and the Pledge continue to be the source of Nazi behavior. The USA has been, and continues to be, a police state. Stop the Pledge.
