THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE; CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO A FLAG, ITS INDOCTRINATION. CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE, DRINK OR SIGN CONTRACTS, YET WE EXPECT THEM TO PLEDGE TO WHAT THEIR MINDS HAVEN'T FULLY GRASP YET. GOVERNMENT AGENTS, POLITICIANS, COPS AND JUDGES ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, AS THEY SWORE TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS AND UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW. FORCING PEOPLE TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE, CONTRADICTS LIBERTY AND BECOMES INDOCTRINATION.
