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."
Go ahead. Wear armour into parliament and say bye bye to your head
Me: *wears armour"
The entire parliament: off with your head
Parliament act 1313 states that that "in all Parliaments, Treatises and other Assemblies, which should be made in the Realm of England for ever, that every Man shall come without all Force and Armour"
In simple terms, you ain't allowed to enter parliament wearing armour and according to vice, they are legally allowed to cut your head off

( afoofa stand for all for one and one for all, a phrase from the 3 musketeers): an act of us congress in which theoretically all 50 states at one and the same time either adopt or reject a specific piece of legislation
A perfect candidate for the afoofa act should be abortion. It should be even the 10th amendment. I mean roe vs wade should be simple: either all 50 states adopt the 15 weeks when abortion is allowed or all 50 states ban abortion altogether .
When you act a different way at school then how your really feel. You tend to hide your true emotions. You could also tend to not be yourself just so you can fit in.
Karen has such a school act on you can obviously tell she is sad.
