I still haven't gotten him to provide any kind of proof, but I did find an article saying that a particular school district does not require kids to say it. Which is, as you know Bob, an entirely different thing.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was in school 30 fucking years ago, it wasn't required!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can tell you, as someone who works in public schools in possibly the only blue state to have a serious sovereignty movement, that kids here say it in at least some elementary classrooms.

The status is NOT quo.
If it's the article I'm thinking of, he might read down to the part where the author starts talking about Fappy the Masturbating Dolphin.
Also point out the .co at the end, which is a sure sign of a fake site.

Of course, he may be the kind of person who prefers "alternative facts" to actual facts. Sigh.

Our wings are not tired.

It wasn't when I was in school over 40 years ago either. It was said, but participation was not required.
I am blissfully ignoring all the high minded claims of not losing friends over politics. Nope, if you support that you are not my friend and I am not about to pretend otherwise. I got plenty of friends. Relatives are trickier, but I do not have to stay in the room or house with you if you start talking about subjects I find repulsive. I will not be pulled into that.
