I certainly can't help it if anyone sees refusing to participate in coerced nationalistic virtue signaling to be offensive. Quite frankly, I see no reason to kowtow to their demands.
I think the coerced nationalistic virtue signalling could also be viewed as a harmless agreed upon social norm to politely show respect.
Given the history of the pledge and it's use in schools, I find this to be an incredibly disingenuous interpretation.
