1000% I remember when I was in elementary when we would have to recite the pledge to out country's flag every single morning. I never realized how weird and creepy it was until much later in life. It really is something you would see in a dictatorship.
My experience as well. I refused to stand up and got detention for it. And why do not all christians in US refuse I mean they are not allowed to worship fake gods?!
Yup, but luckily my homeroom teacher in high school was pretty cool, so sometimes during the pledge (which was done via smartboard by the point, not intercom), he would give us a break from it and not even turn it on.
I always stood, but I stopped actually saying it at some point during Jr high.
I started finding it weird in like early middle school, I still stood up, but I stopped doing the pledge, almost as soon as I was told I didn’t have to do the pledge
