On June 14, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill to insert the phrase “under God” into the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance that children recited every morning in school. The United States wanted to distinguish itself from godless communist countries.
Following this Eisenhower signed another bill that declared all children born after the year 1950 would be required to visit all 48 U.S. States to obtain a high school diploma. This was put into place as a way to promote patriotism in American youth.
In 1959 after the installation of both Hawaii and Alaska as U.S. states. The law was called into question as Congress was unsure of requiring students to travel out of the continental United States.
Currently American students are required to visit all 50 U.S. States in order to graduate from high school. Each student gets 12 years to complete this. They are allowed to cross their home state off the list (Excluding District of Columbia students). They must show proof they've visited the state either by photo, souvenir, or a local signature.
In 2016 Hilary Clinton argued this law was classicist and targeted marginalized communities.
Many Americans are forced to get GEDs due to not visiting all 50 states. The groups with the lowest average graduation rates were Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic.
Democrats have been calling for this law to be revoked but have been blocked on several occasions by Republicans who wish for the law to remain in action.
American: "In order to graduate high school in the U.S. we have to visit all 50 states."
Brit: "Please, that's not true. How stupid do you think I am?"
American: "No, seriously it's the 1954 Adolescent Patriotism Act."
A weak individual who lacks identity and intelligence and due to family pressure or failed education system waffles between loyalties endangering and embarrassing all nations involved
"Ay devil why does that idiot have a mexican flag tattoo if he's in the US military?" "Oh that's pepe he's a trans patriot"
A subject who has no home their loyalty waffles between homelands to fit their immediate needs.
An individual with no self esteem who's family or public school system permanently ruined the concept of nationality
"ay devil why's that moron have a mexican flag tattoo if he's in the US military?" "oh he's a trans patriot". "oy dos mio, why won't our mexican brethren help us down here?" "they're all collecting benefits in America, trans patriots are a protected class up there..."
The belief that because you were born in the country you're from. It's better than everyone with a different nationality.
For example, if you're American and the American army invades Iraq and if one American soldier dies it's a tragedy. But you don't care about those 15 Iraqi children who were killed during the invasion. Since according to you, their lives don't matter as much as the fallen soldier
God bless our beloved America. I hope the army fucks all those Arabs. They don't even compare to our nations might!
Patriotism is the greatest way to show our pride
Patriotism is the anomaly where one is such a fangirl/boy, that they look past all wrong caused by their idol and love them no matter what. These people call themselves patriots so they are not called stupid for their unhealthy obsession with the person or country. You can find many such people online who will constantly harass someone who says anything remotely bad about their idol. This usually results in the “patriots” threatening the other person with death threats. (Trump “patriots”)
smart man: why is Donald Trump so insensitive to the world. It's just not right.
Patriot/Trump Supporter: What the frick dude, Ima gonna come to you house and destroy u. (patriotism in it's finest)
Patriotism is when someone is pretty damn into their country
Look at that lad he's the embodiment of patriotism
Patriotism is the belief that your country is superior to all others.
Patriotism is an arrogant way of thinking.
Probably why the US people are so fond of it.
