does anyone recite the Pledge of Allegiance?

[Anonymous]

I was working at <50 white high nschool school yesterday, and not a single student recite the pledge, they stood up but not a single student recite the pledge. (WORK AS a sub)
I wanted to say something, but I know the moment I say something say I'll be called a Karen.

Also what does race have to do with it?

White kids are most likely to say it then non white kids.

Reciting the pledge is weird. Have you ever looked around a room where they all have their hands over their hearts reciting the same pledge? It screams cult/Nazis!

Even 30 years ago we weren't saying it by high school, even though it was recited over the loudspeaker every morning

Um, it's their choice. I don't even say it. Frankly, it's pretty creepy.

My high school was 95% white and no one said the pledge in high school. It was dorky and we were "too cool" for that. Also tired because it was first thing in the morning.

You can't force them to recite it. The Supreme Court has even taken this on. The pledge is weird and I'm surprised it's still recited at all.

Side note: Do you all think this was just a troll? I'm starting to get that feeling.

The hand position was actually changed b/c it was too offensive:

Yep! From this article "Shortly thereafter, the pledge was begun with the right hand over the heart, and after reciting "to the Flag," the arm was extended toward the Flag, palm-down.

In World War II, the salute too much resembled the Nazi salute, so it was changed to keep the right hand over the heart throughout."

it’s not creepy! Many countries recite a basic pledge to their country. Show some allegiance.
