"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
It’s a pointless, anodyne and unobjectionable pledge that prescribes nothing.
It’s stupid, but not remotely comparable to DEI statements, or commitment to much more specific political ideals.

I am forced to recite a daily mantra filled with propaganda for a republic which is more concerned about arguing for liberty and justice than it is actually providing liberty and justice.
