You’re being pedantic. The original point is referring to how indoctrinating the pledge of allegiance can be. If you’re being made to do something since you’re a very young kid and risk being scolded when you don’t do it: you’re essentially being forced.
Ok, you see how that’s not forcing though. A teacher is not the literal country

…the fact that there was a successful case proves that it is in fact optional.
Not necessarily. It does prove that it legally should be optional.

Pedantic? It’s pedantic to call someone out on a lie? Bulllllshit. I was a kid. There was no issue when I didn’t do it.
No, it is not “essentially being forced”.
