libs: omg this word "grooming" is being used against us! we hates it!
also libs: let's start blatantly misusing the word to try to claim it for ourselves. LOL so smurt! let's call teaching kids the pledge of allegiance grooming! LOL marx would b so proud.
The pledge of allegiance has socialist origins, so Marx's only issue with it would likely be that it's a national pledge (and that God was added later.)
Just because one of the original authors of what would become the pledge, Bellamy, was a socialist, that does not mean he controlled the message or that the Pledge served his purposes.
Besides, he likely wasn't even the originator:
An alternative theory is that the pledge was submitted to an 1890 patriotic competition in The Youth's Companion by a 13-year-old Kansas schoolboy, coincidentally named Frank E. Bellamy. Fred R. Shapiro regards Popik's discovery as favouring Frank E. Bellamy rather than Francis Bellamy as the originator.
Modern leftists hate the pledge and hate American exceptionalism and American nationalism.
The Pledge was also changed several times, including adding "under God" which the atheistic Left hates so much.

This, teaching kids to blindly follow any government is bad.
The entire Greatest Generation's most monumental failure was thinking the government was a collaborative project that existed to benefit everyone.
It's not. It's a weapon only to be wielded at actual enemies, and should never be pointed up-range.
