Nah. A lot of wha t people assume about the south is exaggerated… but… some areas really live up to the stereotype. Really all depends on different factors.
The town where I went to school was very conservative. The God Warrior is from there. Even there, I didn't get in trouble for not saying the pledge.

They usually throw you in jail for that kind of thing in the South.

It wasn't enforced, but I remember in 8th grade, a teacher gave me **** about sitting for the pledge, but told me it was my right.

Because kids do what they're told.

Why only school kids and everyday.

Mainly for the super impressionable preschool/elementary school kids! At least when I was in school, during that time it was pretty mandatory that we all stand up straight, hand to heart, and we had better recite it along with the loudspeakers!
By middle school, the pledge was still said over the loudspeakers, but you didn’t necessarily have to recite it. You did, however, have to at least stand for it…can’t remember if hand over heart was still necessary. Also have vague memory of the school sending home permission slips to opt-out of it altogether.
Once high school hit, I hardly recall stating the pledge at all. I don’t even remember it coming over the loudspeakers either. Maybe just on, like, 9/11 and Veteran’s Day.

Not at all, Nazis took the Chaplin mustache too

Is this due to it's similarity to the Nazi salute?
Are you expressing your admiration of the Führer?

Was better when you had to do the Bellamy salute while pledging
