That pledge of allegiance thing is really fucked. I don't think any liberal western country has anything similar.
The closest thing I can remember from my country is the one time we sang the national anthem in music class and the teacher told us to stand up. But that was just one single time out of then years of school. Nothing coming close to the daily indoctrination of the US.
How do teachers feel about the pledge of allegiance? I can imagine a lot of them cringing at the concept and thinking it is a huge waste of time and a source for unnecessary conflict.

idk but some of them gave me a dirty look when I didn't stand.
