It was probably more rare for kids to do the pledge, at least regularly, in my high school in the late 2000s/early 2010s, than for kids to not do it. Probably about half the class, or more, didn’t stand for the pledge regularly. Hell, I, then as now, counted myself as a patriot, if a critical one, and I didn’t stand most of the time. Though when I did I said the ORIGINAL 1942 PLEDGE, YOU FUCKING HEATHENS.
The pledge over the PA was just the “School is now starting” sound for us.

You mean with a Bellamy salute, or without the “under God”?
Without the “under God”
I looked up Bellamy Salute, and holy mother of fuck.
In the 70s we definitely said thd pledge and sang the national anthem. When we move to WI for 7th grade, they didn’t do it there.
