Do Foreigners Know What The Pledge Of Allegiance Is? - Genuine question

[Penis Drager 2.0]

Guaranteed every single American using this site could recite it on command.
Do non-Americans know about the brainwashing American school children go though?

Not asking if foreigners could recite it. Just if they are aware that it's a thing.

 

[Gorton Colu]

I'm curious as to this too. I've seen it in movies and television, so imagine some do.

I asked a friend of mine from South America and he knew about it, but only cause he had American extended relatives near his age in elementary school.

 

[Axiom.]

We don't.

Just so you barbarians know, every single day, before school starts, American children are instructed to place their hand on their chest and recite the following [line breaks to emphasize the cadence you were to recite it in]:

We pledge allegiance
To the flag
of The United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all

Before WW2, we didn't put our hands on our chest. Instead we'd do the Bellamy salute which looked like this:

That's not going to make them more patriotic, you might as well recite the periodic table.

It's like Whiskey Myers said in Ballad of a Southern Man.

I pledge my allegiance the original way
Say "Merry Christmas" not "happy holidays"

Trump should bring back the Bellamy salute It would be so funny.

That's not going to make them more patriotic, you might as well recite the periodic table.

The only way to make them patriotic is by annexing them into the great American empire.

I know about it mostly from American TV. I've never really thought too much about it because Americans seem super obsessed with their flag in general so it didn't really seem that odd that Americans pledge allegiance to their flag. Also, in Canada our national anthem is pretty much just singing about how we stand on guard for Canada over and over again and we had to sing that shit pretty regularly as kids so it's kind of the same idea. I just figured most countries try and brainwash their kids that way.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

No, no...
We need more Lemon Pledge...

 

[Whatevermancer]

I thought it was some military thing.

 

[C. G. B. Spender]

I thought it was some military thing.

I also thought it was military stuff or something new police recruits pledge.

 

[Lou Bega]

I'm wondering if even American kids know what the pledge of allegiance is.

I'm wondering if even American kids know what the pledge of allegiance is.

They still say it every day it's just directed at a different flag.

 

[*Grunts Softly*]

it's the thing you say with the right hand on a bible in courtroom dramas

 

[Lou Bega]

They still say it every day it's just directed at a different flag.

I bet if you asked a sample of high schoolers right now if they could recite the pledge of allegiance by memory, the vast majority of them wouldn't be able to do it.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

they dont, but they will when we take europe as the 52nd state.

 

[OrionBalls]

Also, do they know that the words "under God" were only added in 1954 because communism bad?

 

[SNEED.EXE]

I've heard of it, but I don't know any of the words to it.

 

[Xenu]

yes i am from Kazakhstan, heil hitler.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

I pledge allegiance
To Joshua Moon
And the United Boards of Kiwifarms
Two genders
Made by God
Incomprehensible
With liberty
And shit posting
For all
Amen

Yes. You are considered a prison colony.
