I work in education. Earlier today, I was accidentally out of the room during morning announcements (I'm usually sitting in the back). When I came in, the pledge of allegiance was going HARD. It took all my willpower to prevent myself from sprinting to my desk to sit down so I wouldn't be standing during the pledge of allegiance (fascist brainwashing!).

Evidently, my behavior was conspicuous and my coteacher asked 'Are you an objector?'

Sheepishly, I replied "...yeah."

On 9/11 of all days.

It's cute. They have a second pledge where they promise to love themselves, study hard, and recite that they are essentially empathetic, intelligent people worthy of dignity.

Hell yes.

I am an empathetic, intelligent person worthy of dignity and I DO NOT pledge allegiance to the United States of America!
