“communist countries have propaganda everywhere!!” meanwhile in the us there’s an american flag within every square mile, kids pledge their allegiance to that flag every day at school, and the us military attempts to recruit people before theyve reached the age of 13

i told my dad about the pledge of allegiance and he said this sort of shit wouldn’t fly even at his old school and he did kinda grow up in communist poland so like

Do you know how many weird looks I got when I moved to Connecticut from Texas and asked them what year they took Connecticut history…

And then trying to explain why we had to take Texas history and realizing I had absolutely no idea.

Uh, I remember taking the Indiana History class in elementary school. Is that not a thing in each state?

super scientific poll time:

What state did you go to school in & did you take a state history class?

If your outside the US- feel free to join in with whatever your equivalent would happen to be..

i went to school in canadaand no we didn't have a pledge tfgbut we did have provincial history because I lived in Quebecand trust me we have a looot of strong feeling about colonial history and the englishand when your history teacher is also a die hard seperatist who just happened to be in Spain at the end of the Franco regime...So focuses on QC/Canada history included the 1760s conflict ousting the French from QuebecEnglish Encroachment - Loyalist fleeing the States during the US Revolutionlater focuses included the great public works projects like the Manic Projectsoh and Referendum 1980 - The Duplessis Orphans scandalWWI & 2 - Canada's obligationsThis is what I rememeber anyway
