    These people don’t see the evils of indoctrination? Teach history. Teach cause and effect and show the results. Then let people decide for themselves. This dumbing people down and telling them what to think isn’t helping anyone at all.

      Americans think it’s normal to pledge allegiance to a flag in school, they thank people for “their service” Indoctrination has been happening the whole time and it works.

        I don’t do either of those things anymore. I barely want to stand for the national anthem. Our military worship in this country is basically taken on a cult like energy.

          Absolutely not. First time I heard of the ““pledge””, I felt disgusted. It’s literally nationalistic indoctrination. Nazi Germany also did it.
