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?

The Nicene Creed
"most students"? "every morning"?
My class only did it until we had it memorized, and then never again.
can it be nothing. why not nothing
And do the same for the national anthem before every fucking sporting event. I’ll be damned if I’m standing and praying to a flag at every summer swim meet that is already going to take 4 hours to get done.
I never understood why Americans do that. For international events where the anthems of both teams are played, sure. But otherwise? Do you guys forget which country you are in?
It’s an effect of the crazy religiosity that Europe shipped over before the country was even founded. So much nutty Protestant fervor has rippled through American society since then. It infected secular institutions over time.
How dare you propose freedom in the land of the free. No freedom for you! Not until you pledge an allegiance.
A pledge enumerating the basic human rights of all people.
No flags, no governments, no religion needs a pledge. We need to pledge to be honorable human beings above all else.
It's a bit long, maybe do one article per day?

Silent meditation.
I pledge allegiance to the drag of the United Queens of America.
And to the queer for who we stand fabulous?
I dunno. I'm trying too hard.
The navy seal copypasta
Probably just the New Colossus poem enscribed beneath Lady Liberty.
I actually feel a sense of patriotic pride when I read that.
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.
