I vaguely remember having to do it for a few years in elementary school, but not middle or high school. I thought maybe only elementary schools did it, but apparently not.
They don’t need to, it’s just encouraged. My kids and I never say the pledge because we’re atheists, but super religious people like Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t say it either.
They’ll treat you like you’re weird and give you a hard time, but like the Bible says… “Your boos mean nothing, for I have seen what makes you cheer”.
It still sickens me how in America children in school need to swear allegiance to the American flag all the time.
What the fuck is wrong with you? No wonder patriotism over there is so weird and cringeworthy.
