    When I was in school I remember it being optional even post 9/11, I don’t remember getting any shit for not doing it, but this was like in high school and I’m sure things have probably changed for the worse.

      same. couple of teachers would give you dirty looks but they weren’t allowed to do anything about it because there was a court ruling at the time that prohibited discrimination on that basis (or at least that’s what we were told in civics class). wouldn’t be shocked if it got rolled back.
