you know what the quickest way is to make a kid resent their country? force meaningless ceremony on them every day.
i was forced to say the pledge of allegiance every day up until high school. it was a bit of a shock to not be forced to say it my freshman year. I can’t imagine how bad it would be to be forced to say the pledge and sing the anthem every day. especially if you get some of those teachers who have a flagpole stuck up their asses that they will give some sort of administrative punishment if you sang the magical flag song wrong. I think I’d tell my parents I was just going to live in detention all year.
I was born in a country in which this happened. We didn’t resent it, but it was annoying.
And no one wanted to sing it too loud because it was embarrassing.
But that’s what life was. Today I think it was bullshit. But back then it was just another stupid thing to do, just like getting up early to go to fucking school.
We definitely had to do the same thing as well. It’s been 2 decades since I graduated high school (I hate that fact…) and I can’t remember if it ended in high school completely, or if we had to at least stand while it played.
