Is the ACLU really opposed to the Pledge of Allegiance?
The ACLU is not opposed to the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and encourages honoring our nation’s flag. However, the ACLU opposes the government forcing people to recite the pledge. The most genuine patriotism is found in the hearts and minds of the American people. That’s why the ACLU is opposed to imposing the symbols of patriotism on people.
