Today in Labor History October 12, 1892: The Pledge of Allegiance was first recited by U.S. school children, without any mention of god. The Pledge went through several iterations over the following decades, but it was not until 1954 that the word “god” was added to it, to ingrain in U.S. children how much superior they were to the godless communists in the USSR.

@Kay The song "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" always reminds me of this great scene in Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" (1961):

The film was actually forbidden in Finland at the time, for political reasons, and it was first shown in Finnish movie theaters only in the 1980s.
