In my state, which is extremely conservative, it is illegal to force a student to participate in the pledge. Most teachers are ignorant of this though so you have to bring it up when they try to make you do it. I haven't been in high school for well over 20 years though.
This was also the same time "In God We Trust" was added to all coins and paper money.
I had an amazing American Government and Politics teacher in senior year of high school, but I knew about her much earlier. She kept a file of print-outs of the section of State law which codified that no child could be forced to participate in the pledge. She was so awesome. I happened to just arrive at her class after the first plane hit on 9/11. I don't think there could have been a better place for me to be trying to make sense of that.
Incel culture has always existed it just didn't have a way out if its mom's basement without the internet.
Never seen a Ring doorbell?
ZAT ISCH VAT IM TALKING ABOUT
Does OSHA even still exist?
It definitely works. Get into some hard work with another person - sweat, scream, and get bloody together. They'll start talking deep shit soon enough (and so will you).
It makes a white dude that's a real drain on society and his family feel superior, like he's winning. Don't make me whip out the Johnson.
