That Creepy Morning Pledge

Hilarious video from the Whitest Kids U' Know:

From an intellectual standpoint, the idea of forcing kids to recite the socialist pledge is very creepy and anathema to a free society but having witnessed this ritual firsthand I'd have to say the effects are either a wash or negative.

It shouldn't be forced, especially before the kids can even understand the words. But it's hard to get people to care about this tiny fraction of the day when they don't even care about our  entire Soviet Style Education System.

Why 10 year olds don't vote...

Over heard a 10 year old kid in a class I was subbing for say, "If I was President, nobody would have to pay for bills or anything. Everything would be free."

Unfortunately, there are people of voting age who believe that.
