    Only on the surface - context is totally different.

    Yes, but the context is completely different.

    When I was a kid school assembly was compulsory for everyone unless you were Jewish. And the music teacher would make us sing the hymn again if we were not loud enough first time around. Plus the school prefects standing down the wings and in the middle aisle it was 15 minutes to be loathed every morning.

    Various US states already have teaching or morality and patriotism on the books.

    Don't want to start an off-topic debate but I wondered why you put Duterte in there. There is a lot of nationalistic stuff here but it almost all comes from Marcos and Liberal Party eras. Duterte is more into a regional focus, setting up autonomous regions, breaking the power of "imperial Manila", etc. He rarely, if ever, attends the different national hero celebrations with the VP, the leader of the Liberal Party standing in for him.

    The opposition portrays him as selling out to China and being a puppet of America.

    As always, I find myself in the middle...

    Teaching white children to be ashamed of a past they had no part in is wrong...

    Brainwashing children to blindly 'love' America is wrong...

    There has to be a middle way...

    What % of my son's privilege should be checked for Will Smith's?

    This is nonsense...
