Seems very much like indoctrination to get kids to “fall in line” and enforced conformity, to try to remove independent thinking.

I’ve always hated the idea of that. What do you think about it?

    Americans had “unity” after 9/11

    Uh, no we didn’t. Source: am American, lived through that period.

    Yes we had a brief period of unity (and solidarity with NYC) following 9/11, but as soon as the American War Machine woke up, my country was intensely divided.

      And even then I am assuming muslim Americans were still left out on that small period of unity.
