In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?

    It’s about having pride in your community. Nothing wrong with an anthem. But this one does not reflect the values or even represent most of the community it’s meant to hype.

    Not my type of music, but Kendrick Lamar seem to have hit the right note this summer.

      The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the “under God” part they added in 1954.
