This is illegal. The Supreme Court made decisions against compulsory actions and recitations as far back as 1943. They revisited this type case in 1990, even affirming citizen’s right to burn the flag. This school board won’t stand a chance when the ACLU gets a hold of this.
this was happening in the 00s when we didnt wanna stand for Bush.
i sat during the pledge in NY, and the teacher called the principal. then he came, made vague suspension threats, i challenged him on it, told him to buck, then he’d call security and they’d loom over me, and i’d let them know just what would happen of they put a hand on me. every day they did this. and every day i’d remind their BLACK asses that i came from a country where this shit was illegal for this very reason.
I was almost hit by a substitute teacher for not standing for the pledge while I took a semester of High School in the US.
He didn’t even let me tell him that I was German - he ordered me to sing the national anthem.
So I did. The German one.
That’s when he really exploded, threatened me with expulsion, kept making physically threatening gestures…
Until one of the guys finally managed to yell at him that I was not American.
Then he turned white very fast.
America’s obsession with their nationalism is terrifying.
the pledge of allegiance is more or less indoctrination. children have to, on a daily basis, announce their loyalty to a country that does not care about them.
Handing out supplies..I would expect the POTUS to be shaking hands with the people and hugging people. Not throwing items into a crowd like he’s an NBA halftime show throwing T-Shirts at fans.
Ive legitimately never been angrier
When o'bugger did you who are whining now wanted to eat his dick.
so first he wasn’t doing enough and now when he does something (and yeah, it needs more tact and grace), y'all flip shit anyways
I wish I could throw a never ending sack of paper towels at your head so you can wipe your mouth when you decide to take a break from sucking shit directly from trumps ass.
im not even that big of a fan of Trump
chill out kid
i’m chill kiddo. when i said I want to throw paper towels at you I was simply offering my charity to the less fortunate. I mean you did approve of it when trump did it so…? but, oh well, it looks like you won’t need as many paper towels since you’re not that big of a fan of trump you’re probably only required to suck the shit from his ass bi-weekly.
If everything was legal for like twenty-four hours I’d start a communal garden.
This is barely even hyperbole.
I would legit start a communal garden with whoever wanted to join me.
I think that would be fucking dope.
Rewrite of The Purge where, for 24 hours, people hurriedly complete all those renovations and projects that the council forbids. Helen, leader of the PTA, laughs maniacally as she tears grass from her lawn with a pitchfork, her thirteen-year-old daughter Emily’s arms red with mud as she wades through the carnage, planting thyme. Jack and Mitch have left their friendly smiles behind at the RSL; today their faces show only grim determination as they methodically shovel gravel into potholes and pour bitumen. The local biker gang, gathered on the corner, are the most rambunctious of the mischief-makers, whooping and hollering as nail guns are driven into plywood, assembling miniature by-the-road shelters for the homeless to rest on cold nights. Their noise covers the sounds of Katy and Sam moving from street to street with their trolleys, picking up unsold or unwanted food from houses and restaurants to give to the hungry without fear of taxation or food safety reprisals. They’re young, and still scared of being caught.
But there’s no one to catch them. Not tonight.
…You know you live in a dystopian capitalist hellscape when….
I would use the purge to download all my favourite music and movies.
i have an idea for a BNHA character
For 15 seconds (relative to her) she can go very very fast. like, faster than a bullet. if she stays longer than 15 seconds, she would start to get motion sickness. she has gloves with force dampening properties so she can manipulate things without destroying them. she can choose how much force is dampened with her watch. everything she does happens in less than a seconds in real time. after 15 seconds of use, it has a 30 seconds cooldown. she uses a watch to track how long shes been in hyperspeed and how much force her hits would have.
If your argument against gun control goes like this “what if a bad guy has a gun I need one to defend myself” then you’re already stating that a gun is a threat to the safety of those nearby. You’re tickling your ego by thinking you with your gun will be faster and smarter than the bad guy and frankly my life is not worth testing out your bullshit attitude. You already know guns are bad, you just think you with a gun is better. If they shoot you or you shoot them that’s the same number of people killed. You still believe guns are dangerous you just wanna feel cool idk what to tell you champ just stop sniffing the glue.
You put this into words way better than I could have
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
