Trump Pushes Patriotism in Schools

Donald Trump stressed his push for increased patriotism in a speech to the American Legion this morning.

Specifically, he said that a shared goal of the Trump administration and the American Legion, a veterans' association, is "promoting American pride and patriotism in America’s schools."

"We want young Americans to recite the pledge of allegiance," Trump said.

"We will stop apologizing for America, and we will start celebrating America. We will be united by our common culture, values and principles -- becoming one American nation. One country, under one constitution, saluting one American flag. And always saluting it," he said.

This morning's speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, comes hours after Trump gave a long-awaited address on immigration in Arizona.

He reiterated several of his immigration proposals during this morning's speech, including greater screening for immigrants, a ban on accepting Syrian refugees and a stronger border defense.
