And to the queer for who we stand fabulous?
I dunno. I'm trying too hard.
The navy seal copypasta
The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.
Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!
I drink it from a cup.
I drink it from a bottle.
I drink it from the belly button
Of a super model!
Apple juice and vodka!

Why you drinking water?

Can we make a pledge to be a good and productive person?
Probably just the New Colossus poem enscribed beneath Lady Liberty.
I actually feel a sense of patriotic pride when I read that.
Same vein, make "This Land" the National Anthem.
A lot more down to what music most Americans actually value in their day to day anyways.
Yeah, we don’t need a song about war to remind us how we got here, we need a song about togetherness to remind us how we should be.
If anything, get them to find/research their own that they identify with and explain what makes it personal to them.
Lol I can't wait to hear everyone recite their respective pledges at the same time
Just let them visit amongst themselves for like two minutes and get ready to tackle the day.
mushrooms and puppies
With red or white wine?
A pledge to democracy and democratic values
Well it does pledge to the republic and to the values of the republic. Which is appropriate for a republic.
I really can't remember the last time I said it in school, would have been super early on, 1st or 2nd grade back in the 70s. Definitely not after that.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you’ll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.
Teacher: "What is best in life?"
Students (In Unison): "To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentations of their women."
Give them 5 minutes with fidget spinners or other fidget toys.
Only half joking, stimming be good for you.
A conga line.
Something based on the scout oath. "a scout is trustworthy, loyal, honest..." Except based on what an American should be. "An American values the opinions of others, is a safe shot with a gun, does not live with someone without their consent, keeps their property secure, demands due process of the law, uses a lawyer, believes in the jury trail, does not apply cruel punishment, believes there are rights we don't know reserved to us, and believes in limited government" (you should find each article in the bill of rights above) Of course better wordsmiths than I should rewrite that, and we probably need a lot of debate.
Note that I never pledge allegiance. As a christian my allegiance is to God and so it would be a lie to pledge allegiance to anything else. Thus making me recite the common pledge is a violation of the first amendment. (this is much clearer if you read the 12 amendments as originally proposed - for better or worse what actually passed isn't as clear)
An elevator music rendition of the national anthem, if anything is needed at all (or maybe use this opportunity to remind students that individual towns/cities have flags, anthems, and pledges too).
Shower thought: What do deaf kids do for the pledge?
"most students"? "every morning"?
My class only did it until we had it memorized, and then never again.
Guess you weren't "most" then. That's definitely not the norm.
It is a law in my state that all students must stand and all teachers must recite. Most of the students recite too, but no one but teachers are forced to.
It is a law in my state that all students must stand and all teachers must recite.
protects students from being compelled to salute the American flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.
Students are not being compelled to salute or say the pledge, only stand and be quiet. Teachers are the ones compelled to recite the pledge every day.
