In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?
I would replace it with education. Which is the purpose of schools.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
The 7 sacred tenants of the Satanic Temple
Ironically, I think the Satanic Temple would oppose such a policy.
Nothing. Maybe a “good morning, do your best, and remember to be kind today”
How about nothing? Why do we need to indoctrinate children with any kind of this bullshit?
“we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other” 🥰
2 minutes of deep breathing to relax and concentrate, repeated through the day.
That’s it, just give everyone a chance to relax and center before getting back to the crazy.
Square breathing
That’s it, makes a big difference when you need it.
Nothing. There would be no replacement and the pledge would fade from memory.
By Grabthar’s Hammer, by the Suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged.
The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.
Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!
I drink it from a cup.
I drink it from a bottle.
I drink it from the belly button
Of a super model!
Apple juice and vodka!
Apple juice and vodka!
Why you drinking water?
Apple juice and vodka!
I pledge to be fair, stay curious and stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. To never forget we are a people dedicated to a just and free society for all. To be welcoming and inclusive of all peoples, rich or poor and the regardless if the color of their skin or their faith or gender or sexual orientation. Except Donald Trump. That guy is a jerk.
Decades in the future people only know Donald Trump as “the guy who’s a jerk according to the Morning Pledge”
Pledges reek of authoritarianism to me, so maybe replace it with a common saying like “Be excellent to each other because we have no more or less entitlement to this world than any other being and our individual perspective is at best a tiny viewport not to be confused with reality”
Just let them visit amongst themselves for like two minutes and get ready to tackle the day.
The Pledge of Ethics?
