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.

This doesnt rustle my jimmies like it does others.
I believe everyone here should learn basic english but I dont really care what language you pledge in.

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.

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

I'm opposed to saying the pledge in any language.

I thought the story was about a kid taking a failing grade for refusing to say the Mexican pledge in Spanish class.

Which do you prefer? Does saying it in any other language meet your goal or does saying the pledge and flying the flag of any other nation in class do it for you?

my grandpa taught me the pledge in French. he didn't speak English. is this acceptable?
Posted on 2/23/14 at 8:27 am to jimbeam
The pledge itself is a statist reinforcement tool.

Their son is retarded.

My view is that no kid should be forced by the state to recite the pledge.
