^ i see it more as an oath. like in the military. I would not say that this is superfluous. The oath, i mean

Asking people to take such a pledge makes an assumption that shouldn't be made.
But it seems some of this school saw it necessary, to make a stance in these times, i wonder how they got the idea, especially after some recent events.
B.t.w. I do not like private schools, most do not really offer a better education, but better networking and connections that help them later. I still think especially among private schools the aforementioned pledge is quite rare among them.

People in the military who take an oath are adults and they do so because they have chosen to join up. These are children. Big difference.

If claimed - but never proven - reasons of reason are only used as an alibi in order to spread ideology in truth, then this maneuver serves exclusively to nip any argumentative resistance in the bud and to underhandedly obtain unconditional submission in spirit. Suggestive language is criticized immediately in court - in the war of the left activists for the sovereignty of interpretation, it is the silver bullet.


And dare you never to point that gun at themselves! The whole wolfpack immediatly is going after you.
