Do American kids actually recite an oath to their country EVERY DAY? I keep hearing about that everywhere but it kinds of blows my mind to much for me to accept it as fact.
For context, I went to elementary school in China before I came to Canada, and in both countries the most we've done is sing the national anthem during assemblies.
Yes, I grew up doing "The Pledge of Allegiance" daily. Through some court cases students won the right to abstain, but I don't know if I've ever seen it. You would make yourself into an outsider immediately
I grew up doing it, but my kids in elementary and middle school don't. It's changed.
