Melissa Taggart says she was delighted that her son was learning a foreign language in the eighth grade -- until she learned he was expected to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish.
And that he'd receive a zero if he didn't.
Taggart, of Edmond, Okla., said the Pledge should be recited in English -- and English only.
Oh my, the horror! Speaking Spanish in a Spanish class! The Pledge of Allegiance is the Pledge of Allegiance no matter what language it's recited in. Who cares? Oh I know, wing nuts who have nothing better to do than worry about petty nonsense and like to keep their children ignorant and in the dark to anything that may be different. Let's just pretend that we are all the same and their are no other cultures or languages in existence.
Might as well translate the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence while they're at it.
I think that would be a fantastic assignment for a Spanish class. You could teach Spanish and a little civics at the same time. My friend Heather teaches Spanish - I'll pass that idea along to her.
