• I had a teacher in elementary school that taught us that when a flag falls on the floor, you’re supposed to kiss it.

    Yes, seriously.

    It was just part of the normal flag-worship we were taught brainwashed with.

      I was taught that if a flag falls on the floor you are supposed to burn it.

      b/c they can’t go burning the flag every time a kid fucks up but they can’t bring themselves to totally abandon a ritual that has become a superstition
