I was one of the very small number of children that bought that bullshit, that all drugs are bad and what have you, but even I thought signing that pledge was kinda fucked up. Like you were required to sign it, we didn't have a choice.
Only years later with exposure to contract law did we learn about that pledge lacking "equal consideration" rendering the document null and void.
Does "duress" not enter into it as well?
Then sprinkle on some child abuse and, voila!
Sprinkle on some crack and book em, Lou.
I thought the same thing, we had to sign it or we failed 5th grade (or that's what I was told).
They still require kids to sieg heil the flag and do the special chant. Shit's wack
