Wait
children in the United states actually do the pledge of allegiance every morning?
Like, that's not just a thing from the Simpsons?
>>55315943
We are some rag worshiping mother fuckers.
>>55315943
Used to. Not anymore. The Jews tapped their fedora Atheists and put an end to that in regular practice over the last two decades.
>>55315943
At the school I went to we did the pledge, then we prayed, then we went around and did "special intentions" where each person in the class could raise their hand and have everyone in the class collectively pray for something they request. Cindy, who is sick today, Mark who broke his ankle, etc.
>Europeens constantly boast about their superior social programs and culture
>still not patriotic enough to pledge to their nations flag every morning
I'm kind of disgusted 2bh
>>55315943
I did in 2nd grade, but the school I moved to after didn't do it and no other one I attended did, not even the weird baptist one.
>implying kids pledging to the flag even knew what they were saying or doing
kids are too young to understand shit like pledging allegiance
>>55315943
Of course. It's not required but only illegals and commies refuse to do it.
>>55316031

>he doesn't say the pledge every morning
get OUT
>>55316031
Oh dude that sucks,they are thinking of making our schools to stop saying prayers cause it might offend those fedora tipping faggots. Cause you know it's TOTALY harmful to pray that god will keep us safe.
>>55315943
Yes, we actually take pride in our nationalism and we aren't keks like yurop.
>all these replies
Why would you need to zombify yourself to remain patriotic?
>>55316262
Surprisingly enough, we did it to keep up with or counter the patriotism in your country.
>>55315943
Talked to my cousin about this the other day since he is still in high school. They still say it over the intercom in the morning. Most people still stand up but it's no longer required for students to stand.
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the united states of america
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under god
Individual
With liberty and justice for all
>>55316262
The average are too stupid to think for themselves so why not give them a nudge in the right direction?
It's probably the same shit they do with conscripts in your nation.
>>55316165
Dude fuck my nation, The French speaking elite only managed to convince the Flemish peasantry to revolt by blaming the Dutch. There was nothing noble or righteous about our revolution
>>55316359
We don't conscript preteens.
>>55316353
Indivisible* and capitalize USA.
>>55315943
Here in Texas we do the pledge of allegiance to our state flag as well.
>>55315943
The question is why aren't you? The answer is you're s c*ck.
>>55316460
pay debnts
>>55316431
I should have probably mentioned it's a different pledge, I think it goes like:
Honor thee, Texas
I pledge allegiance to thee Texas
One state, indivisible
Under God
>>55315943
We did this at homeroom (half day) at my elementary school
>he doesn't salute his flag
>he doesn't bow his head in silence with his hat over his heart when they play taps
>he doesn't remember those who have fallen in the cause of liberty
>he doesn't teach his son not to be a sissy little faggot
Yes and Ronald Reagan erupts from behind the desk shredding on a gibson, ready to kick the ass of any kid he sees just faking the pledge or abstaining.
>>55315943
not in my catholic highschool. Don't think we did it in middle school either.
>>55315943
We didn't used to but after it was on the Simpsons we thought it was a good idea
I wonder what will happen to a Dutch teacher if he lets the class sing the national anthem at the beginning of the day. I guess he will be called a ultra right nationalist and probably gets fired also.
>>55316640
>he doesn't salute his flag
Yes I do, I honor the Flemish flag, as most of our fallen were Flemish soldiers sent to die by French speaking officers
>he doesn't bow his head in silence with his hat over his heart when they play taps
Have you ever seen the last post?
>he doesn't remember those who have fallen in the cause of liberty
Again Flemish soldiers led by incompetent French officers
>he doesn't teach his son not to be a sissy little faggot
Not yet
>>55315943
Some schools still do. I went to a private school that taught us the government isn't always on our side, so we didn't.
I've done it ever sense age 6. They start you young.
>first class in the morning
>as soon as the tardy bell rings the loudspeaker in each class goes off

Well, that's how you keep a nation patriotic. Then you declare the opposition as unpatriotic.
Opposing the indoctrination? That's unpatriotic.
The pledge is just the Lord's Prayer for the USG.
It's 2015. They clap their allegiance to the flag now.
>>55316401
If you don't teach your kids nationalism, then you get kek countries like germany and sweden. Nationalism is a good thing.
What's the difference between Patriotism and Nationalism?
Daily reminder that under god as added in 1954 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance.

>>55315943
I never had to say the pledge.....
Also the god shit aside, I wouldn't say it anyway.
>pledging allegiance to some thing because you where born in a certain place
>>55316845
That tardy bell. I wonder if they still call it that. I haven't thought about that shit in years and years.
One kid didn't stand one day in class and we beat the shit out of him after lunch. His parents forced him to tell the teacher he wasn't allowed to say the pledge.
Yeah lol we actually do it
>>55315943
I was in 5 different elementary/middle schools (5-14 years old) in 5 different states, and every morning that was the first thing we did.
>>55317515
>One kid didn't stand one day in class and we beat the shit out of him after lunch.
See, that's what indoctrination leads to. Someone getting beat up for exercising his rights.
>>55317598
I was a cub scout at the time. That kid is lucky I didn't stab him with my knife which I always carried.
Hans, you guys were the BEST at doing pledges. Why would you not be able to feel this in your heart? Group pledging is awesome.
>>55316578
>One state, indivisible
>Under God
Wait, really? Because Texas is literally allowed to split into 4 separate states under the terms of its entry into the Union.
>>55315943
How is that a bad thing?
When I was in school we started each day with the national anthem
>>55317748
No. That doesn't matter anymore because you all said the pledge and that fucker is legally binding ok?
You ain't goin nowhere.
>>55315943
It's god damn patriotic and I respect the shit out of it, if my country wasn't absolutely keked I'd have some nationalistic pride as well
>>55315943
at my school we would do the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at assembly
then we'd sing the state anthem of North Carolina, which was actually pretty cool
>though scorners may sneer at, and witlings defame her/still our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her
>>55316775
As a Flemish historian i'm disgusted that you use decades old myths about what happened in WWI, the reality, that the patriotism for Belgium was at it's height during and after the war, especially by the Flemish, and i'm sure most of them would be disgusted by what their grandchildren turned into.
>>55318344
Did you notice? No matter what the haircut, they all pledge together.
>>55317740
>Group pledging is awesome.
It's also the closest we have to mind control. If your nation is truly great, you don't need to make children repeat it day after day. People will realize by themselves. If it's not, then making people believe it is is a terrible idea, it prevents the bad parts from being fixed.
Part of a great nation is that people have the right to opt out. If you get beat up for not falling in line, then the nation is no longer great, its people are just desperately clinging to the illusion that it is, and lash out at anyone who doesn't want to take part in that delusion.

"opting out" of your nation means fucking leaving. Jesus fuck germany, what the fuck did you even do with your balls?
>>55319022
aren't you bilingual at this very moment? You do know that the sole reason the Flemish identity movement pushed for monolinguism in Flanders is because and i'm quoting straight from the source here " Around the turn of the century the conviction grew with Flemish minded that bilinguality for the entire country would mean Frenchi-fying the county since there is a bigger social value appraised to French.Now If you had any clue at all whatsoever on court life you would know that for centuries french was the lingua franca, and was still regarded as an academic language, at the same time you had people from various countries and ethnicies writing in a language with bigger publics then their own native tongue. And guess what, nowadays it's English, as evidenced as we are both talking to each other in English, and if you ever actually talked to wallonians, you'd notice they speak English as well, hooray we can communicate with each other, with a "neutral" third language, so what's the deal? And, I rather have a ceremonial king, than a president. How many catholic kingdoms are left in Europe? 3? It opens doors in ways you don't think about, for example, the Japanese emperor Hirohito was present at Boudewijns funeral (although that might have been from before your time), making it the only funeral of a foreign state he went to. I know it doesnt mean much to you and I, but following the view of Perrine, i see a continuity in the modern state of belgium, with the past and all it's citizens living in freedom and relative prosperity, isn't that enough? What do you want??
>>55315943
Every morning when the bell rings we would go say the pledge and in every class room was a large flag on a staff.
Nobody understood it really. We just did it every morning.

>the Japanese emperor Hirohito was present at Boudewijns funeral
Hurray???
Yeah, it was kind of nice. I was in school at the very end of this practice. One thing is that it disseminated what our culture is supposed to be about. Now, people just repeat buzzwords they read on clickbait articles. Here goes:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: One Nation, under god, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
You can't possibly oppose kids saying that, can you? And just to be clear, it's not like this was mandatory or that you were graded on it, or something. Every morning, it was just a few seconds where we all were reminded of where we came from.

You are confusing nationalism with patriotism
my daughter is in 1st grade in a public school, and they sadly still do it.
they also don't celebrate holidays like "Halloween" or "Christmas" by name, they have to say "fall festival" and vague things like that.
In massachusetts it is an option.
I don't stand though many in my family were in war or were reserve soldiers. I just find that making us stand up for a corrupt country that's gonna send us to war without a second thought is fucked and unreasonable. The Jewish kek tips his hat off to war we go. Standing and saluting a piece of cloth that many in the country wipe their ass with is just a form that most mold to. And fuck under God. I'D say the fuckin pledge if all the evangelical Christians didn't put god in the pledge over 10 yrs ago.

>>55321685

>>55321230
> I pledge allegiance to the Flag . . .
Does this mean you are loyal to a cloth, or particular design? No, it means that you are declaring your loyalty to the People, your countrymen, and the values of our forefathers who articulated our principles. Self-governance, protection from the State, personal and economic freedom, freedom of speech, press and assembly, fair elections and trials.
> . . . and to the Republic for which it stands
Our Republic is a very powerful model. The word Republic in this example refers to our nested layers of representative democracy, where central authority is largely unneeded. Each nationstate is it's own sovereign entity, with it's own Constitution, and it's own laws which in more ways like a group of countries in the EU than provinces of a confederated democracy. The Federal powers are very restrictive and enumerated, while State powers are general and left for State Legislatures. When State law directly contradicts Federal law, Federal law wins, but those are meant to be extremely limited. Consider it 'read-only protected memory'.
> One Nation
Though acting as separate entities, like individual tradesmen pursuing their own wealth, we are all playing for the same team.
> Under God
It is thought that if our actions are just and righteous, and we respect the sanctity of life we have been given, and try to exercise humility, integrity, and courage, we are acting "under God". Instruments for God's will on mankind.
> indivisible
We pride ourselves highly on the ability to have fervent competition, and to disagree openly and loudly in the public sphere without fear of retaliation. Though we speak freely, and can be at polar odds with our countrymen, Americans are united by their respect and love for country.
> . . . with Liberty and Justice for all.

>Americans in charge of knowing history

I think you are confusing that they aren't one in the same.
How can you possibly be a patriot if you aren't also a nationalist?
You need only look at Europe as an example of where multiculturalism and a discarding of national pride leads.
You'll all be brown and worshiping Islam in another 50 or so years. If Europe was still full of xenophobic nationalists, as it should be, you'd get to keep your culture.
The pledge was only in elementary school and we only had the national anthem on Mondays, even in JROTC.
I wish American schools were more patriotic and had uniforms or at least a better dress code (no sweatpants, yoga pants, short shorts, jerseys/tanks etc)

That you called yourself a Mexican says it all. It's not that you were born in Mexico, or from Mexican parents/grandparents. It's that you fail to identify as an American. I'll bet you wouldn't even get behind the wholesale slaughter of mexican nationals if it meant saving a handful of Americans.

There is a local radio station that has a different classroom in the area every morning say the pledge

It really blows my mind how Europe is so multicultural and shit. We were taught when we were how America is the melting pot and shit.
Multiculturalism is the biggest fucking shitty lie. Gas the kikes, race war now.

I remember when I was deployed, the Iraqis thought we took the "Pledge of the Legion" rather than "Pledge of Allegiance." I thought that was pretty funny.

No thats japan

That's pretty horrifying anon.
By the time I graduated High School, a little more than 3 years ago, it was limited to once a week and it wasn't mandatory. I think some weeks they even forgot to play it on the intercom.

I sat in the front senior year of HS and never said the pledge. I was the only one.
Why pledge allegiance to a government you don't support?
>>55315943
That's still better than in our "country" where even the Prime Ministers don't alway know the national anthem.
>>55321066
I would mouth the words, but on veteran's day, etc. I'd actually say it.
>>55315943
Not anymore. Half of the kids just stay in their seats and talk about minecraft or some shit.

I stopped doing the pledge of allegiance in school in like 4th grade, so not since I was 10 years old.

My school did it every single day. It started to feel like brainwashing after a while.
>yes obey the good ol government
>yes give us your allegiance
>yes one nation under God
It's a weird daily ritual no matter how you spin it.

The state is a social construct
>>55323407
to be fair, it would be annoying to have to learn all 50 state-flags in the US instead of just the one, as an outsider.
>>55334622
This, 50 state flag plus all other nations flags would be a bit much

Damn fucking straight we do. And we fly our flag fucking everywhere. Every classroom in every school, outside every public building, many private houses. Most private businesses have it somewhere.
The great thing about being American is, we can hate our politicians all we want, we can hate the direction we're going on either side, left or right, but only the far left 3dgy liberals refuse to say the pledge.
>>55316152
Nope. My immediate family and I were born here. I refuse to pledge allegiance to that sullied icon, and I already know I have less in common with communists than you.
>>55322072
I really hate the national anthem. Do people really listen to it and not get bored to death? Like finish the stupid song already so I can watch Wrestlemania.

Maybe if you copied us and had a little pride in yourselves, your continent wouldn't be a hellhole. Because we're clearly doing something right, and you aren't.
>>55316031
Not everywhere man. My children still say it every morning at an all white school. Fly over Midwestern small towns still hold on to values and sensibilities. It's the upside of being dated.
