No kid at 5 understands what you are pledging your allegiance to. It's not just a flag it's the republic which the flag represents. At 5 I know you didn't understand what a republic is. At 5 you have no way in knowing you truly back the ideals of the republic which you are pledging you allegiance to. You are just doing lip service because someone told you to do it.

This isn't about knowing, it's about doing. Clearly our country has issues with people not following the "doing" rules of standing and saying the pledge, but you can't force people to know what any of it means and/or if they're acting in a manner completely opposite to the words they are staunchly reciting.

Making something mandatory is a great way to turn it into meaningless lip service, that's for sure.
