Comment on F'in liBtUrdS at it again! Did they even do a drug test on that homeless person before giving him food!11!!!1 And no anthem 5 days a week!! How will they know what country they're in! ThATs UnAmErICan
When I tried not to say the pledge in school the teachers told me I had to do it.
If they punished you, and there was a lawsuit, they would have lost. (Although who knows what would happen nowadays, the 1st current only protects freedom of speech when it’s money)
Funnily enough - the pledge in schools was basically a way to sell American flags to schools.
They didn’t punish me for that because at the time I did not know that the teachers were not allowed to force me to say the pledge.
What I ended up doing was just pretending to say the pledge so that they wouldn’t notice I wasn’t actually saying it.
