Why Are American Kids Being Required to Say the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish? And Why in Oklahoma of All Places?

A mom in Oklahoma is very upset that her eighth grader is being required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in a language other than English.

I don’t blame her.

Our pledge should not be required to be said in any language other than English.  And school districts should not  be threatening to give students zeros on an assignment like this.  

It’s bad enough that they’re taking down American flags over schools on American soil in favor of the Mexican flag so as not to make Mexican students uncomfortable, while spitting on everybody else’s feelings every 5th of May.

It’s bad enough that they’re sending kids home for wearing American flags on their shirts.

It’s bad enough that they’re requiring teens to remove American flags from their own vehicles while on school property.

If they’re going to persist in this behavior, perhaps they should take the Pledge of Allegiance out of school.  If they’re going to force people to say it in a way that is coercive, then it should be banned.  We don’t currently require students to say it in English, so why is this school in Oklahoma trying to force students to say it in Spanish?

They need to stop trying to turn the United States into Mexico.  We don’t want to be Mexico.
