Question to the conservatives here: Do you support forced patriotism?

Nope. Just like you aren't guaranteed a scholarship. If you want to be a USA hating attention whore, then go for it but I don't want a penny of my tax dollars supporting you. Furthermore many scholarships can be revoked for behavior which can effect negatively on the institution.

"most scholarships have specific or vague discipline requirements. How you behave in real life or on social media will always be monitored. If scholarship providers don’t like how you behave on and off campus or your social media habits, they can cut funding."

I certainly don't get money handed to me for loving my country.

I was forced to do a lot of shite in school i didnt want to do either.

I don't really care. I'm not inspired by our anthem because it's not a great piece of music. Better than Canada but not as good as France or Russia.

If only there were a thread already in full development for this very topic. Oh wait, you wanted to make sure you had your own thread instead.

No.

I also don’t support forced anti-patriotism.

No. But I also don't think a state university should support disrespect either. If the anthem bothers you, stay in the locker room until it's over.

I don’t support kids saying the Pledge in schools.

I think if there are scholarships involved there should be some things that you have to stay in line with to keep the scholarship. Listen it could have been worse. Don’t know why anybody has not said this but what if Mulkey has purposely bringing the team inside for the anthem because she did not trust them to do the right thing in public. It would have been worse if Angel was up there with a fist in the air type thing.

I see you didn't answer the question posed. Also if that's what you view as a threat, compulsory standing for the anthem won't help your cause in the slightest

When I said "i see your point" that meant I agree it's a bad take to have to force patriotism. My point was that the Marxist left has been able to market to the masses that America is bad... Bad because of capitalism, and we're colonizers, and racist, and families suck and illegals can have what they want.


So, we look around and see that America has been sullied to an extent never seen in it's history. The left needs to make America a pile of trash so they can chop it up and give it to the illegals and move us into some non capitalist utopia. They've succeeded. America is in decline, the elites have withdrawn massive amounts of cash to pad their new lives in this new "future" they will drag us into.

America used to have that cache where the reason people died trying to get here was because it's the land of the free and opportunity. Now they say it's because of climate change.
