006 -- Cimbrian Loyalty Oath

Memo

From: Cimbrian Central School Administrator
To: All Headmasters/Headmistresses
Re: New Pledge and Mandate

Dear Headmaster/Headmistress,

Due to recent events, the Bureau of Internal Affairs has released am updated Loyalty Pledge and Cimbrian Mandate. Please find them enclosed with this message. Both are to be displayed in all classrooms as per regulation and replace the older pledge and mandate.

As with the old pledge, please inform your teaching staff to commence each day of instruction with the traditional recitation. All students over the age of six are expected to have the pledge memorized. Younger students will not be expected to understand every word of the pledge, but all students over the age of eight should be able to recite and write the Loyalty Pledge. Should a student refuse or forget the pledge, light corporal punishment is recommended, including (but not limited to) the boxing of ears, a mild slap to the head, or in extreme cases, paddling.

Students are not expected to recite or reproduce the mandate until the age of twelve, due to it's increased complexity. All history and society faculty should make sure that their lesson plans accurately reflect the Cimbrian mandate and how it shapes our Nation's role in the world. At least one week's lessons should be spent on the mandate itself.

We all know how troubling recent events have been. These new documents are proof that Cimbria stands once again upon sure footing. They should be embraced whole-heartedly in the classroom so that our children may keep Cimbria strong.

Central School Administrator,
Edwin Straypelt

The Cimbrian Loyalty Pledge

With this oath,
I give myself,
To serve my people and my state,

Her strength is vast,
Her power great,
And it keeps me from all harm,

I am her heart,
And her sword,
And the blood that fills her veins,
Cimbria.
