My assistant history teacher got so mad at me for not standing for the pledge that the actual teacher had to tell him, a man in his 30s-40s, to go out into the hallway and calm down.
I had done my research beforehand and was ready to defend myself if people got mad too, thanks to some religious group (Jehovah’s Witnesses?) the Supreme Court had decided not standing for or saying the pledge fell under the first amendment.
My science teacher got so fucking pissy over me not standing up for that crap. Literally phoned up my mom to continue bitching about it.
I wish I just ignored her.
