Literally brain washing children.

It's really, really odd from the PoV of normal countries.

Adding the "under god" part in the 60s is the only fucked up part
Having elementary students "pledge" to the flag with such limited knowledge on what it means isn't good.

Yeah, it's the kind of shit I'd expect somewhere like North Korea or Canada, not America.

A teacher at my high school started a weird "prayer club" that met at the flag in front of the school 10 minutes before the first bell rang. They prayed around the flag then went to class. Always thought that was pretty weird.

The pledge is literally just saying "I'm on your side and I believe in liberty and justice."

What's cultish about that?

For real. Like we'd sing the national anthem at our Friday assemblies, but we didn't have an Australian flag hanging up in every classroom and we wouldn't do a daily chant about our country.

If they wanna do it fine, but the fact that people get shamed or punished for not doing it is some North Korea stuff

Its dumb to be loyal to a country just because you were born there or moved there. I agree with the general sentiment ITT, patriotism is dumb and America goes overboard with it.

The pledge is part of the pressure we put on immigrants & their children to shed a lot of their original identities in order to assimilate and be a part of the melting pot of America, The pressure to identify as American first and foremost, replace their values with American values, pressure to be blindly proud of the location of the dirt they happen to be on.

It's weird because we'd point at North Korea or China doing that and go "Wow that's some scary propaganda shit"

But I guess it's ok and normal and everyone should be forced to do it or leave when you agree with your own definition of "America" or "the flag".
