I’m a teacher and not only do I not make my kids do it (it’s illegal to make a student say the pledge if you didn’t know), I don’t do it myself because I think it’s fucking weird and inappropriate. My only rule is to remain quiet if you’re not saying the pledge, out of respect to people who do want to observe it.
Telling your normal students to respect their nationalist loser peers is a bad move. You should be subtly encouraging your students to bully anyone who says the pledge of allegiance

Disrespecting of anyone is shitty.
Celebrate individuality. Bullying is for terribly short sighted sorts that could use some education.
I don’t respect people who say it. Patriotism is disrespectful to everyone else in the world.
