I had an American History teacher in my BY school that had us sing the national anthem and pledge allegiance every day before class. And America the Beautiful too; “Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…”
My 6th grade (public school) teacher made us memorize two verses of the National Anthem, as well as all the verses of “My Country Tis of Thee” and three verses of “America the Beautiful.” We also had to memorize “The American’s Creed” and the Preamble to the Constitution.
Each morning we said the Pledge of Allegiance, the American’s Creed, and sang one of the songs. Can you imagine that happening in a public school today? The teacher would probably be fired for not being multicultural enough.
