Imo that is a highly unusual reaction to the pledge that maybe one in a hundred million kids will share so for those one or two kids it is harmful.

So? I felt really violated and ashamed having to eat lima beans when I was a child. That's the way it goes...

I felt really violated and ashamed having to recite the Pledge of Allegiance when I was a child. How is this not harm? Some children feel violated and ashamed when they have to take tests they don't know the answers to. Or have to recite in front of the class. Or have to go the bathroom in a public restroom, or eat in a public cafeteria. If we are going to do nothing at all that causes anybody to feel violated and ashamed, we might as well close down the human race and all feeling species and give the world back to the plants and bacteria.
