edit: I have changed my title to match the new NYTimes headline. Sorry about the all caps, I guess they are really excited about this lol

Also shoutout to @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone who shared a gift article link in the comments. I hope you don’t mind but I kinda stole it and updated the post

    I have a confession… I never said the Pledge of Allegiance. I always just mouthed watermelon and put my left hand over the wrong side… Republicans probably think I’m more treasonous than Trump.

      I’m a teacher and have to pretend to be a good boy during the daily pledge. I have kept this up since high school: I always pledge allegiance to the United Snakes of America, and.end with reminding myself that there is really only liberty and justice for the rich and famous.

      I think it’s my bad memory of Jello Biafra’s remake

      Edit: Words are hard.

      I never did the pledge. In fact, I never bothered to learn it.

      PS: Never went to school in US
