What would you replace the "pledge of allegiance" with? (lemmy.world)

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?

Nothing.

If you want your citizens to be loyal, give them a good life, not a brainwashing.

I am a Swede, my life has been good, I may not be physically fit for fighting, but I absolutely would join the military and do support for the fighting for Sweden if needed.

I, too, would fight for Sweden, which I've only visited a few times to see my new in-laws.

Sweden is THAT awesome.

Fucking unrealistic, like the shire but with unreasonably gorgeous and decent people.

I'm an American moving to Sweden right now.

I'd fight for you in a second. You're good people and I don't think you'd start shit without a reason.

So I guess "And you have my state of the art military AI drone technology!"
