Same. But I didn't do it because of a different indoctrination, not because I understood anything special.

Worth a read for the “secede from our marital union” part alone!

I still have a feeling that me breaking down the whole classes in elementary school alone was a glimpse of genius and not some kind of sociopathy

In any case I am in the business for an article on how I was right all along, nurturing my indomitable rebellious spirit of America or something

I'm from the UK but I have my own version of this.

I went to a Church of England school. When I was about 8, we had this super religious teacher start. She was Methodist so made us change the words of the lord's prayer to her version. I loudly and defiantly said the old one every time.

It wasn't long after, that I stopped saying prayers altogether, making sure to stare ahead with lips tight and hands unclasped, so nobody could mistake me as being pious!

I probably would have been that annoying kid had just been schooled in the USA.

Pious - adjective

Strongly believing in religion and living in a way that shows this belief: She is a pious follower of the faith, never missing her prayers


For anyone else who has never in their life encountered this word, lol.

Less of the annoying kid more of an annoying teacher, admin, and staff. Like peer pressure and desire to follow along made me do it but the teacher and the staff couldn't explain why we should and that made me question it and leading me to consider the kid right

There was always one kid that sat down during the pledge in my class. None of us thought he was annoying or weird. I admired him.

That was me!

I have never seen a kid sit down for O Canada unless they are in a wheelchair. Of course getting sent to the principle's is not worth it but I would admire a kid who had the balls to do it.
