Jesus Christ. This comment made me remember that American schools actually do that daily. It was like a repressed memory. I had to actually look it up to make sure it wasn’t a fever dream or something. I never participated because even as a kid it just seemed so fucking weird to me. Nobody ever gave me shit about it. We weren’t forced to do it or anything. But it was still a daily occurrence before the morning announcements.
When I learned that we didn’t have to do it I stopped. But my home room teacher was a veteran and he did not take it well. Sent me the principal’s office (they just sent me back). A few other kids then stopped too.
Then they all stood up, looked to the flag and pledged allegiance under god.

once again proving that veterans are some of the worst people
And everyone clapped
There is a new pledge.
