    You’re being pedantic. The original point is referring to how indoctrinating the pledge of allegiance can be. If you’re being made to do something since you’re a very young kid and risk being scolded when you don’t do it: you’re essentially being forced.

      Pedantic? It’s pedantic to call someone out on a lie? Bulllllshit. I was a kid. There was no issue when I didn’t do it.

      No, it is not “essentially being forced”.
