Do any other countries make students do this?

No. America is the only one and it's fucking creepy
It's mandatory in China every Monday
They made us stand in the yard to listen to the anthem every Monday but I don't remember ever doing a pledge, but it might be different depending on city I guess.
No, you're right. I conflated singing the national anthem with doing the pledge of allegiance. Although, it seems the purpose is similar.
being 20% as bad as america is still a huge L tbh
We sang March of the Volunteers (the Chinese national anthem) on Mondays, there was never a pledge of allegiance.
20% bad as post-9/11 america. some schools that had dropped it for all the obvious reasons it's stupid to do picked it back up
When I was still living in AmeriKKKa, one kid in my 12th grade maths class taught me to start shitting on the pledge by calling it "corporate America" and things like "oil barons, Walmart, Lockheed Martin and Fox News", finishing off with "America deserved 9/11", something like that. But saying it in a way where it doesn't immediately stand out like me windmilling my piss on the Vietnam War Memorial, lmao
God I wish I was that fucking cool as a 17 year old
I always just pretended the pledge wasn't happening. I hoped a teacher would throw a fit about it tbh. They never did though
In my country you had to pledge allegiance to the dead founder every morning. Some people lost their shit when it was lifted.
