Forty Seven States have state laws requiring all schools to indoctrinate students into ultra-Nationalism by requiring the daily ritual of prayer in the memorization and recital of a Pledge of Allegiance to a US Flag.

Retaining liberty requires a fight against it’s enemies, foreign and domestic.
The past 20+ years of losing wars in the Middle East has turned Americans into a hot bed of ultra-nationalism. This movement has stolen political power using the destruction of liberty for thousands of Americans. There is no indication that their minacious activity will temper.
The right wing bellows that American schools are liberal breeding grounds of a ‘Woke’ agenda. It is a false definition of ‘Woke’ that has been invented not by what has been discussed in schools but by the agenda at the heart of the Christian Nationalist movement. American children are indoctrinated everyday by law in the right wing’s requirement of a recital of a pledge of allegiance prayer. The daily recital reinforces the Christian Nationalist themes of God and love as an invocation of the mystical powers of the US national flag. It ends in a blatant lie that a Christian Nationalist believes in ‘liberty and justice’ and ‘for all.’ They have ingrained this into the nation’s youth this concept everyday of their education. That is the best kept secret in the open that they don’t, noticeably to the latter statement.
The Oppressed become the Oppressor.
Ultra Nationalism has become a thing in the MAGA movement. They have achieve untold elective power from the corrupted discussions for the oppression of women’s rights to their bodies, transperson’s rights to exist and now a re-emergence of attacks on same-sex marriages and women’s birth control options.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy comes from a Jewish immigrant background that fled the 1903–06 anti-Jewish pogroms in Anatol region of Russia (currently Belarus). Agents of Jewish foreign influence were blamed for the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881 starting the attacks on Jewish communities. Even though only one of the conspirators was of Jewish decent, none-the-less the pogroms caused Jewish families to be stripped of rights, reduced to poverty and in many cases, murdered. Laws restricting Jews were enacted including the forbidding of Jews to adopt ‘Christian Names,’ and forced them to use only their Hebrew names to insure proper identification of their heritage. Jews could not conduct business on Sunday or any Christian holy day. Jews were forbidden from holding public offices. Jews were restricted by quotas to enter public schools and universities to the point that many public schools at the time were left half-empty. The laws were worded as ‘temporary measure’, and until a general revision is made of their legal status.
“This government had found occasion to express in a friendly spirit but with much earnestness, to the government of the Tsar, its serious concern because of harsh measures being enforced against the Hebrews.” – 9 December 1891 speech to the United States Congress, PresidentBenjamin Harrison

In a short three generations, Mr Miller has forgotten his family’s struggle against and ultimate flight from political oppression in Eastern Europe. To Mr. Miller, the history that political power was achieved or retained by the oppression of his ancestors is pretermitted. He has created the America First Legal Foundation. An organizations that sent flyers to voters in Colorado that were characterized as transphobic by the Queer and Trans People of Color Program of the Latino Action Council. America First Legal won the judgement in November 2022 that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity from Trump appointed Judge Kacsmaryk. Judge Kacsmaryk also vacated protections for transgender workers that prohibited employers from discriminating against employees for being gay or transgender, in 2022. This decision a violating contravention of the Supreme Court’s Ruling inBostock v. Clayton County (2020). Clearly, being a gay or transgender US citizen you are not part of the ‘all’ in Judge Kacsmaryk’s or Mr. Miller’s pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
Demanding the equalization of individuals
No matter how many times, as a child, one says the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, it never seems to define the whole of society, as understood by the Right. The pledge appears to have allowed the creation of a society where ‘liberty and justice for all’ meant individual rights.
The Pledge of Allegiance in one word defines for all Christian Nationalists the reason they oppose the equalization of individual rights. That word is in the phrase ‘One Nation Under God.’ God used in this pledge is the very definition of discrimination. It is the sinister core statement attempting to orientate all children to the concept of a God. The biggest concern to Christian Nationalists is having forced a secular government into indoctrinating the children for them, God cannot be further defined by constitutional decree. The concept of a deity and divine rules for individuals are left to be discovered from a plethora of acceptance and policies by parents, teacher conferences, administration bodies and teachers themselves.
The ‘liberty and justice for all’ society began to move towards a vision of a humanity based on the equalization of individuals. Society had begun to allow for gay or trans children to participate as equals on its platform. This became antithetical to the Christian Nationalist of their concept of a society ‘under God.’
The Pledge of Allegiance could not be failing to provide the proper instructions for children to follow. Such a thought would be, at its heart, anti-American and anti-Christian-Nationalist. It had to be those entrusted with the education of children that have failed to define the harmonious concept of rules ‘under God.’ Thus began the underlying waspishness found in Christian Nationalists discussion of individual rights.
Individual rights ‘under God’ began a movement against societies inclusiveness of gay or trans children and their lives as understood by children. The ‘under God’ movement further had act to force society away from an equalization of individuals. This defined political power under such things as the Don’t Say Gay Laws or Anti-Trans Laws. All of them using children and the protection of society through call to protect children from indoctrination. A society to the Christian Nationalist that definitely was not ‘One Nation under God’

The campaign created focused banter to claim political power at the national level. It produced laws in Florida, which was only the first of many, punished with imprisonment the discussion of gender or sexual orientation in grade schools. The Christian Nationalist’s society redefinition efforts created 391anti-LGBTQ bills/ laws in US States. The majority designed to apprehend and control of minors, their education, their parents actions, their medical care.
It should be noted, none of these laws did not take down the pledge of allegiance posters nor stop the requirements for its continued daily indoctrination ritual. To school children, at least, the US would remain the ‘one nation, indivisible, under God with liberty and justice for all.’
Children, for Christian Nationalists for the moment, no longer will be confused by a nation infected by a concept that would demand the equalization of individuals. Such a demand is defined by the Christian Nationalist as a radicalization of the concept of any ‘liberty under God’.
The Christian Nationalist movement continues to move in a more Machiavellian manner to define the literal definition of freedoms and the identification of anyone’s selves. Laws have passed defining “sex” as “the classification of a person as either female or male. They have forgotten to redefine Liberty.
Liberty is defined as the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views.
By definition the US has killed ‘Liberty and Justice for All’ even as they make every school child blindly repeat its holy prayer each morning in a nationalistic pledge.
