What’s Conservative about the Pledge of Allegiance?
It was written by Francis Bellamy, a Christian Socialist pushed out of his post as a Baptist minister for delivering pulpit‐pounding sermons on such topics as “Jesus the Socialist.”

I'm not going to stop anybody from reciting the PoA. But when patriots take a moment to ACTUALLY THINK about the possible ramifications of a few of the words that people recite in PoA, terms like ONE NATION and INDIVISIBLE arguably indoctrinate young impressionable minds with the wrong ideas imo.
"The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign nations." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800.
More specifically, the words emphasized above probably make it more difficult for young adults to later accept the constitutional reality of a limited power federal government, especially since the "common core math" and "critical race theory" indoctrination centers schools are probably no longer teaching the Constitution anyway imo.
Here's more material like your photo.
