    The US flag pledging is so weird.

    When I was a kid, my country was a dictatorship. We had those at that time too.

      This is from 1944. A lot has changed, since then, for better and worse.

      This is before the Republicans got “under God” added to the Pledge, and I notice the kids are saluting, which now is only for people in uniform, otherwise it’s hand on heart.

      Modern Republicans would probably say this image is “Woke and DEI” and try to ban it.

    " “For All” was just when we had 48 states. Adding Alaska and Hawai’i meant we had to pick 2 groups to exclude!!" /s
