We don't really have this in Denmark, no such thing as a pledge of allegiance existed when I went to school. Our music teacher once had us sing the national anthem and told us we had to stand but that was it. It wasn't a recurring event. We did sing quite a few national romantic songs from the 1800's in music class but those were more idealised descriptions of landscape and seasons than homages to the state.
The school had a flagpole that was used at official flag days (Christian holidays, WWII anniversaries and royal birthdays) and at festive events the stage was lined with tho flags but we understood those more as a festive decoration (like at birthdays) than a political and nationalist manifestation.
Things have worsened a bit since I went to school in the 1990's but it is still nothing compared to American children chanting pro-regime slogans every morning.
The good thing about your country losing all it's wars is that the nationalist cult can't really do the "we will water our fields with the blood of our enemies!" things but have to make do with "it's nice here in the summertime".
