On June 14, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill to insert the phrase “under God” into the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance that children recited every morning in school. The United States wanted to distinguish itself from godless communist countries.
Following this Eisenhower signed another bill that declared all children born after the year 1950 would be required to visit all 48 U.S. States to obtain a high school diploma. This was put into place as a way to promote patriotism in American youth.
In 1959 after the installation of both Hawaii and Alaska as U.S. states. The law was called into question as Congress was unsure of requiring students to travel out of the continental United States.
Currently American students are required to visit all 50 U.S. States in order to graduate from high school. Each student gets 12 years to complete this. They are allowed to cross their home state off the list (Excluding District of Columbia students). They must show proof they've visited the state either by photo, souvenir, or a local signature.
In 2016 Hilary Clinton argued this law was classicist and targeted marginalized communities.
Many Americans are forced to get GEDs due to not visiting all 50 states. The groups with the lowest average graduation rates were Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic.
Democrats have been calling for this law to be revoked but have been blocked on several occasions by Republicans who wish for the law to remain in action.

Get the Adorabibble mug.1. An overwhelming urge to completely destroy or mangle something that is so cute, that it’s pathetic. This feeling is usually triggered by baby animals or objects that tend to be “Smoll”.
The thoughts going through your head may scare you as you pick up an absolutely adorable “smoll” puppy and have the urge to squeeze it until it splatters in your hands or at least hard enough for its eyeballs to pop out.
Another common reaction for those with Adorable Aggression might not want to kill the puppy, instead suddenly feel the need to throw up on it without warning.
