I had the opposite experience, I never did the pledge in public school (or in the Adventist schools), at least not regularly enough for me to recall, but in the evangelical school it was the entire school doing it together in a big room every damn morning, first thing. I'd argue religious schools are more likely to drill it into you than public schools on account of the "under God" part that they've retconned in.
I also never saw military recruiters in public school, neither in military-dense Hawaii nor in deep red central Oregon.
- skyyler 2y agoIf you didn't notice the military recruiters in your US public school, I have to imagine you weren't paying attention. They posted up during lunch with tables and stuff where I was. Maybe they were just capitalizing on the 2008 recession. There was never an assembly dedicated to them; it was always just a kiosk-type thing students could walk up to.
