Saying the Pledge in another language...

Saw elsewhere someone saying their son refused to say the Pledge in Spanish in Spanish class.
What is the PT's view on this?

I'd rather them learn to say it in Spanish then not say it at all.

I think the parents of that child are incurably retarded.

As a country we don't have an official language correct? If so then I think people shouldn't take issue.
If anything at least they're pledging allegiance.

It's SPANISH class. Of course you're going to say it in Spanish.
Reciting any well-known set of words in another language is a good way to learn that language.

I'm still confused as to why saying the Pledge, which was adopted during FDR's presidency, and is recited in public schools, is supported so strongly by some conservatives.

Correct me if i'm wrong, I thought students were no longer required to say the Pledge of Allegiance to begin with regardless of language. So this is 100% a non issue regardless even if his motives were suppose to be patriotic.

Supposedly it was because it was in Spanish, not saying the Pledge itself.

In Spanish language class, right? The parents are jingoism infected dumbfricks. Other than that, I'm sure they're all aces.

I really like him. I think he's a good bridge, because like me, he comes from a conservative background, but he dials it back a bit on the snarkiness and passive aggressiveness, but not completely.

Okay, listened to two minutes. Another nutty dude that fits right in around here. But, thankfully, represents a minority view in the U.S.
