Why the Pledge of Allegiance feels weird to me: personal thoughts on ritual, words, and meaning

In this video, I talk about why the Pledge of Allegiance has always felt a little strange to me. From saying it every day in school to how the words hit differently as an adult, I share my personal perspective on ritual, patriotism, and what it really means to “pledge” anything. You don’t have to agree — I just invite you to think about it with me.
