Such a creepy thing, getting children to chant in devotion to a state flag in schools.
It's the sort of thing they probably do in places like NK, or the Third Reich, you don't expect it to come from a supposedly modern, non imperialist nationalistic nation, ya know? :-(
I'm from the UK, my wife is from Singapore, and our son was born in the US. I really don't think it's appropriate to force him to pledge allegiance to the US, because he has strong ties to other countries. It feels like brainwashing.
It is brain washing.
Where I'm from children sing the national anthem once a week at the school assembly and usually a few other songs too.
There are typically no flags.
Germany: we sang the anthem about once a year if even.
But that wasn’t always the case, now was it
That's the reason we stopped doing that
Well we defeated that ideology! And then wrapped it in red white and blue and made it our own! so take that!
^please^ ^help^ ^us^
^maybe^ ^you^ ^guys^ ^can^ ^invade^ ^us^ ^this^ ^time?^
^also,^ ^it^ ^was^ ^kinda^ ^the^ ^russians^ ^more^ ^than^ ^us…^
Not russians, soviet people. Well, russians too, but also ukrainians, belarusians/belorussians, armenians, georgians, long list of other nationalities that now their own states and even longer list of nationalities without one.
This is one if even two a year episodes of listening to anthem less, but if even once a year more singing than Russia. Kinda better, but not that much in this regard.
