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 said it once, I say it again. Why the Flag? I don't get it. Why not the Constitution? The Flag changed so many Times in US history.
Is there an actual reason or just because the flag is a more visual Token for loyalty?
I think it's because the people who made the pledge were just trying to sell flags. "A flag in every classroom" or something to that effect. So, once again, the answer is capitalism.
The pledge was just made by flag companies to sell more flags guys
You dont think someone made money off of this?
