Reasons Why the Pledge of Allegiance is Stupid
Hm... Definitely gonna get a lot of hate for this list, but meh. I do it because I can.Like I can buuuurrrn the flag.... Hehehe....
Add more reasons down below, or leave hate comments! I gotta go!
Also, this line wasn't even added until 1954, when the U.S.A. wanted to "escape" the godless communists.
The flag has no more value than a shirt you would wear.
This is true. America is improving, though.
This is only true for kids in kindergarten through 12th grade. They only have to do this while they're in school. Once you're in college, they stop doing this.
They pledge to something every single day without understanding why they are doing it.
Yes, it was made by a socialist to sell more flags for a company. Deal with it.
Not in high school. You can just stand there.
When I was in kindergarten through 8th grade, all the students had to say it, no exceptions. In high school, though, saying it was optional. The students were only required to stand. Even the teachers didn't have to say it.
The only exception was my special ed teacher, who DEMANDED us to say it, despite the fact that the other staff and students could just stand. Once, we didn't say it, and we all got told off for it.
I don't get rejected, and I'm pretty sure lots of other people at my school say it just because they feel they have to or are used to it. I do feel bad for those who get rejected when they shouldn't.
Saying the pledge should be a personal choice for every school because some people don't do it for religious reasons or have other concerns and reasons.
Freedom of speech is established in the First Amendment specifically for the protection of offensive speech. Otherwise, anyone can say anything is offensive and have it censored.
Freedom of speech is in the First Amendment, and the pledge doesn't keep you from saying something.
The Newcomers
You know the snowflake conservatives would be like, Oh, Iran forces the public to sing the national anthem every morning and then pledge to their country flag. They would want to liberate them or find it crazy.
They'd say, Look at Iran brainwashing their citizens, yet they don't connect the dots back to their own country.
Even developing countries don't have anything as stupid as the pledge. Most of the world is smarter than dumb Americans who treat their flag like it's a sacred item on par with the Holy Grail.
Only really dumb people swear allegiance to a piece of cloth.
Taking pride in one's nation is okay. Being proud of where you are from is okay. But this is something straight out of a dictatorship.
It indirectly forces children to stand for a country that does evil and not question said evil.
