We do not, and we unironically have a parade about how cool WW1 was.

I had to pledge to the flag in Argentina, way back when I was a kid. We also stood in formation as the flag is raised and lowered each day.

We sang all kinds of anthems too, from the national anthem to the Himno a Sarmiento (some racist fuck), Himno de San Martin (cool guy), Marcha de las Malvinas (indoctrination to hate the british) and the Himno a la Bandera (flag), too many anthems to memorize and whenever they played them I just made sounds with my mouth pretending I was following the lyrics lmao.

Not in Wales (although the UK government has floated the idea of a pledge of allegiance a couple of times). What they did do was make everyone recite the Lord's Prayer. No-one was exempt, not the handful of Muslims, not the sizable portions of atheists, and not me with whatever made up religion I'd claimed I was in this week (I was deep in new atheism and would probably've become a misogynist if I hadn't grown up to be a woman).

We sang the national anthem at school assemblies, and that was about it.

In Australia I only remember singing the national anthem at school assemblies about once a week

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah same. Sometimes there'd be a special assembly and we'd have to stand and sing for that too, but typically it was a once a week thing and no one was really forcing us to sing, just stand.

In kkkanada we had the anthem played in class every day.

It was a half-french half-english version, but on Fridays in elementary school we had the fun one that had the acapella quartet doo-wop guys recording.

In high school if you were late to school, you weren't allowed to walk to class while the anthem was playing.

Def do the national anthem in kkkanada

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I live in an As Left As They Come area, so we do a land acknowledgement before the national anthem. It's very stupid and patronizing. 10/10 lefty-left extremely-left leftmaxxing, for sure.

[-] Blep@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

The reactionary hellhole school i went to did the same thing

[-] Spike@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

How many countries even have a "Pledge of Allegiance"?

[-] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Many countries still do this. Democracies, by the way.

In one school I did the national anthem and the Lord's prayer every day, when I moved to another school I was a little confused when we didn't do the Lord's prayer but we still sang the national anthem every day

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I bet they didn't have the part of the lord's prayer about forgiving debtors

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah

Nazi Germany

[-] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

lol most local government meetings (in red counties) still start with the pledge of allegiance AND a prayer

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

We did the national anthem once in a while here in Canada but no, nothing like your thing
