im 20 for reference. ever since i was a kid, up until hs, we were forced every morning to stand, look at the flag and hold our hearts and say:
“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”
i didnt stand a single time because i disagreed with being forced, and i was berated by the teacher in front of everyone, and he threatened to kick me out of class if i ever did it again. i was about 11-12 then, it was 2015.
Lots of places don’t do that. I teach in New England and we don’t do that. I’m not sure we ever did!
EDIT: I teach HS, but I have a ten-year-old. I just asked him and at his school they did it every day with the new principal, but only occasionally the year before. I had no idea! We definitely don’t do it at rhe HS, but maybe some do.
