Well I've just read every comment on this thread and I'm relieved to realize that our recitation of our National Pledge of Allegience at every opportunity is in-fact seen as totally normal.

I only really saw that in grade school. And it was a Red Scare thing. Super culty, but so is all the McCarthy stuff.

At a point I was travelling a lot to the US, the only time I heard the national anthem was before a Rodeo in Texas, and I never saw someone reciting the "pledge of allegience

Mostly in schools, so not something a traveller is likely to see

Yeees, totally normal and culty at all...
