At the end it shows a mass of kids being lead in chants like:

"Are you Chinese?"

"Do you love China?"

"Do you want China to be strong?"

Not sure we can debate this without someone getting upset about some race or religion issue. In the past (in the US anyways) this is the kind of thing wars were fought over to prevent happening across the world.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

On a separate note, the US Supreme Court's flimsy justification that "under God" represents patriotism and not religion is disappointing. It very clearly means what it says.

People who refuse to say that pledge don't get sent off to a concentration camp.

Failure to debate is just as upsetting, depending on the values of a person. Or rather, depending on whether they have double standards: for how they would want to be treated, and what treatment of others they support, by ignoring or rationalizing it.

    What kind of times are these, when
    To talk about trees is almost a crime
    Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
― Bertolt Brecht

Or as Ilse Aichinger said, "who forgets the murdered kills them once more".
