I was reading a story about the #MAGATeens from #CovingtonCatholic & there was this little tidbit about how the school has students add “born & unborn” to the end of the Pledge of Allegiance & I’m just like 😳😳😳
The pledge is already a weird nationalist throwback we force children to memorize & say, but then to alter it to add your religious beliefs about abortion...yikes. Every day I am grateful I made it out of that small town KY white Catholic community.
As a queer black woman, I knew that things I was taught in HS were wrong but was afraid to speak up. I just waited to leave & as an adult, I struggle to go back bc I see how many ppl actually believed the shit being shoved down our throats...or perhaps they swallowed willing.
