[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an immigrant kid who went to K-12 in Montgomery County public schools where the pledge was said every day during morning announcements. It had zero effect of brainwashing me or instilling patriotism in any way. It actually probably resulted in the opposite. At some point in high school I chose to stand but stop saying it and I took over 30 years to become a citizen specifically because I didn't feel patriotism toward this country. Everything else I learned in school about critical thinking and free will and so forth clearly was more effective than any Pledge of Allegiance brainwashing. Raise your kids to be independent thinkers and the Pledge will be nothing but a blip in their day. The fact that it was so ritualistic made it meaningless, kind of like brushing your teeth every morning. [/quote] Why stay here if you dislike America so much?[/quote] +100[/quote]
