Dude...I was talking to my 5yo today. They've learned the pledge of allegiance in kindergarten.
He recited it, perfectly, verbatim.
I cringed slightly at the "under God" part, as I'm a devout atheist (though we've barely mentioned religion at all to the kids).
Once he was done I asked him if he knows what any of it means.
"No. But I can say the whole thing!"
Smh.
I cringed at the part "pledge of allegiance" and then again at "kindergarten".
Americans don't realise how north Korea style that is.
Oh we do. We often recognize it while still in school. But you learn quickly you are not allowed to question it. If you don't follow orders, you will be disciplined.
Land of the free, eh?
