Patriotism Now Measured in Accessories, Experts Say
Published:
Amidst rising concerns that people simply aren’t loving their country hard enough, the education sector has stepped up with a bold initiative—encouraging students to proudly wear flag pins to display their unwavering devotion. Because what better way to measure one's loyalty to the nation than through a small metal accessory?
The move has been widely praised by officials who firmly believe that a lack of patriotism stems from an insufficient amount of wearable national symbols. “We’ve long suspected that mere education and civic engagement were not enough. Now, with these badges, we can finally separate the true patriots from the undercover rebels,” an unnamed official stated.
Parents, school administrators, and other authority figures have expressed their enthusiastic approval, stating that nothing fosters national unity quite like subtle peer pressure and compulsory displays of allegiance. In fact, some experts suggest this could be just the beginning—whispers of national anthem ringtones and mandatory flag tattoos have begun circulating in patriotic circles.
While the policy is currently voluntary, sources speculate that future students without a flag pin might be politely ‘reminded’ of their obligations—perhaps with extra homework or a few strongly worded speeches on the importance of national pride.
