The pledge was every single morning, in my experience AFTER the national anthem and a moment of silence. We had to stand for the whole thing. (And in Texas, also have to do a Texas pledge)
Then if course we had our insanely biased teaching of history, minimizing our genocide and slavery. Forcing us to learn about important founders to a degree that they become sort of semi-god figures.
That’s very strange. In the schools I’ve been to it was just the pledge, and you don’t have to stand. They aren’t legally allowed to force you to stand or say it, but some schools do anyway.
That’s part of the problem of states handling everything so differently. In New York, I had the pledge every morning, that’s pretty much national, but nothing else almost ever outside of sports (national anthem). Not only did they know you didn’t have to stand, they taught us that in history class.
How can you come together “as a nation” when your education from state to state can be completely different.
That uh, does seem more tame than the US.
