1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: It's not political, by the way, but let's just let's

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: use something patriotics, shall we Yeah, something patriotic, So if

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: you're under the age of sixty, the American flag has

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: always had the same iconic design, fifty stars and thirteen stripes. However,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: the United States didn't include fifty states until Hawaii joined

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty nine, which then necessitated a new flag design.

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: So a high schooler named Robert Haft submitted a design

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: as part of a class assignment. And he was the

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: one that you know had the alternating five and six

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: in the adds up to fifty the flag that we

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: know now, and he sent it a prototype that he made.

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: The President chose his flag to become the official national symbol. However,

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: his teacher only gave him a B minus on it. Real,

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: so his teacher said, this is average, and the President said,

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: oh no, that's the flag exactly. Take that, teach. What

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: do you know, teacher? Right? What do you know? More
