Ear rape without lube: the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior.
Another Wikipedia myth has been debunked. The myth is that the American Nazi salute was changed via the action of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Many Americans have been misled by Wikipedia into making that claim. The truth is that there is no evidence that FDR had anything to do with ending the American Nazi salute in the Pledge of Allegiance. FDR just happened to be president at the time that Congress made idiotic forays into the mess. It would make as much sense to claim that FDR promoted the American Nazi salute in that Congress' initial 1942 law retained the extended-arm gesture for the Pledge of Allegiance.

June 3, 1940: In the case of Minersville School District v. Gobitis, the Supreme Court of the United States rules that children can be persecuted if they refuse to chant in worship of government in unison on command daily in government schools (socialist schools).
December 8, 1941 was the date of the US declaration of war, but in fact the US was at war on December 7, 1941 at about 7:55 AM when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. (Hitler declared war
against the US on December 11, 1941, in support of his Axis agreements with Japan).
June 22, 1942: date of enactment of Pub.L. 77-623, 56 Stat. 377, H.J.Res. 303 in which Congress, long after the U.S. entered WWII, began idiotic attempts to dictate and alter the Pledge of Allegiance, yet the alteration retained the extended arm salute that was the origin of the Nazi salute. Section 7 stated: "That the pledge of allegiance to the flag, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all', be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart; extending the right hand, palm upward, toward the flag at the words 'to
the flag' and holding this position until the end, when the hand drops to the side. However, civilians will always show full respect to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute." Note that persons in uniform continued to use the military salute, which was the initial salute for the earlier Pledge of Allegiance (as written by Francis
Bellamy in 1892) and which was the source of the Nazi salute when it was extended outward to point at the flag. In practice the second gesture was performed palm-down when the military salute was merely stretched at the flag (see the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets").
December 22, 1942: date of enactment of Pub.L. 77-829, 56 Stat. 1074, H.J.Res. 359 which attempted again to alter the Pledge of Allegiance and completely drop the extended arm salute, probably because people continued to perform the American Nazi salute, with the arm straight out and the palm down, as had been the habit for so long. Section 7 stated: "That the pledge of allegiance to the flag, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all', be rendered by standing with the right hand over the heart. However, civilians will always show full respect to the flag when the pledge is given by merely standing at attention, men removing the headdress. Persons in uniform shall render the military salute. Note that persons in uniform continued to use the military salute, which was the initial salute for the earlier Pledge of Allegiance, and the source of the Nazi salute. Congress' 2nd idiotic attempt to dictate the robotic chanting ritual was ignored by many Americans who continued to perform America's Nazi salute during the pledge.
June 14, 1943: in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, the Supreme Court of the United States, after Congress had already tried to drop America's Nazi salute, decided to reverse the 1940 Minersville v. Gobitis decision, after the decision had inspired violence and persecution of children (and
parents) for refusing to chant mechanically and perform America's Nazi salute.
Americans did not immediately drop the American Nazi salute in the pledge. The American Nazi salute persisted into the '50s and '60s in some places.
