    Yes we still do loyalty oaths every morning before class starts and oftentimes kids have to say it even when they’re doing school remotely. Like, they recite the prayer with their classmates on a zoom call lol.

    Even though it’s technically illegal to force anyone to say it, it’s rare that the option is seriously presented to kids and respected by teachers.

      Yeah, it takes until middle and high school for students to realize and stop saying it, even though they still have you stand for it if you don’t say it
