I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was younger but I don't show any signs now, but I would refuse to pledge and I especially never liked the "one nation under god" part from a rather young age. I moved around a lot as a kid and sometimes Teachers understood and were kind but other times they were the most hissy belligerent people about it and turn it into a whole ordeal.

I'm extremely happy that society is slowly progressing past that cringe as a whole.

HAHA. I did the same thing in Canada with the national anthem for the same reason. Refused to stand for it or sing it. Some teachers would lose their SHIT. Like… grow up. I don’t want to sing the theme song, why care?
