One Nation Under God and English
One of 20 plaques from the "Pax Americana" series created for the D.B. Weldon Library at Western University.
"By the end of the 2030s, after the addition of several new and exotic territories to the United States’ portfolio, it was determined that the Pledge of Allegiance needed an update. Various foreign languages still in use were seen to be creating unnecessary friction in domestic commercial enterprises, and a single linguistic framework was deemed essential. Similarly, in the face of existential threats from foreign powers, Washington concluded that manifest destiny must be reflected by a singular verbal destiny.
On Independence Day, 2041, the Pledge of Allegiance was modified to read: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God and English, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
This plaque marks the federal credentialing of this building as an English-only space, certified on June 24, 2042."
