Yes. Every single morning, ritual worship of a piece of stripey fabric. In 4th or 5th grade my teacher sent me to the principal's office because I didn't stand up for the pledge.
I’m German, so this nationalism is so foreign every time I see it or hear about it. Very weird, especially how you are indoctrinated with it already at this young age. I couldn’t imagine that, although we have of course very good, obvious reasons here to be very wary of it.
Good job btw! Did you get some punishment or anything for not obeying?
Yeah it's fucking weird to experience and I imagine it's even weirder to see as an outsider.
Luckily it's apparently illegal for them to punish a student for not doing the pledge because my dad called the superintendent the next day and flipped shit at him lmao. Threatening to sue the school district and everything lol.
