Crazy how half of my school never stands up and the other side (arguably more privileged) always stands up for the pledge.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

#our highschools or combined. one half arts school and art magnets and the other more bio med and technology.#Was visitng a friend and didnt realuze i was LATE so they did the announcements while i was in their class and EVERYONE stood up.#it was surprising since my classes havent stood up for it for the last 2 years. my own classes (art school side) never make us stand #got in trouble once for not doing it in a 6th grade class from a teacher who gult trips people and made voodoo dolls of her students 🙃
