Who wrote the Bahamas pledge of Allegiance?

• A. Sir Lynden Pindling
• B. Dr. Phillip Rahming
• C. Desmond Bannister
• D. Dr. Hubert Ingraham

Answer: (B)

The pledge of allegiance is a civic statement used in schools to express loyalty to the Bahamas and to the people who share the nation. It’s designed to instill national identity and a sense of unity among citizens.

Dr. Phillip Rahming is the name most commonly cited as the author of the Bahamas pledge. He is known as an educator and writer in the Bahamas, and his work includes contributions to how national symbols and civic duties are taught in schools. The pledge’s creation fits a role for someone focused on education and national cohesion, rather than a political leader whose work is typically tied to governing rather than composing schoolwide oaths.

The other figures listed are prominent politicians who led the country, but there isn’t a well-supported record tying them to the writing of the pledge. So, the attribution to Dr. Phillip Rahming aligns with the tradition of naming an educator as the author of a school-focused pledge.
