Should Texas students be required to say Mexican Pledge of Allegiance?

We need a new president Po1 Foster, one with Military heritage, and one who puts Americans 1st and not every toilet bowl of the world who wishes to flush its refuse on our yards.

Lt. Kidwell, I think I understood that very well, and pointed it out in my reply, with "no matter the intent, it is still a bad choice." Since they are Americans, in an American school, the choice should have been the American Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish, if it is for Spanish class. Still could use anything but something that affirms or supports another nation. We all make mistakes and can do a lot better, but that seems a bit of a stretch. I teach Sunday school to children, and I know what it means to make a lesson plan. I would not use something from a pagan religion, or non Christian teaching for a lesson while teaching a Bible class. If I did that, I would expect to be "demonized" and criticized. I know, two different subjects, but common sense should be applied here. Here's her sign....
Oh, why would it be a down vote to share what I shared? I did not bash her or your comment. Just used common sense to point out fact, as you feel you did.

MSgt Kevin Willoughby - And if you read further in this thread, nowhere do I defend the lesson itself. In fact, I stated that I do not agree with the lesson in the slightest. And yet I still insist that to an American kid, the Mexican pledge of allegiance is meaningless words.

As a person who has taught both as a classroom teacher and as a Sunday school teacher, I must take exception to your analogy. While we as Americans would not pledge allegiance to a foreign nation, being asked to do so in a classroom setting is a far cry from a Sunday school teacher teaching a lesson that is not only outside of the bounds of a Christian curriculum, but completely opposite of Christian teaching.

The question remains: was this merely a poorly planned lesson, or was she trying to deliberately indoctrinate kids by having them pledge allegiance to Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos? Many people who read this article are assuming the latter and are going off the deep end. I am assuming the former, and I'm getting flak for it.

Which then brings us to your question on down-votes: you down voted my comment, presumably because you disagreed with it. I simply returned the gesture. If you do not like receiving down-votes, then I suggest you save your own for when someone is being unreasonable and abusive, rather than simply and calmly expressing an opinion.

1LT Nick Kidwell I appreciate your service to the Military and to the education system and while the Pledge is not binding, it is always and I believe the teacher knew that otherwise she wouldn't have made it hard on the student who refused.

SFC Mark Merino I wish I was president. Anyone acting like an ass gets sent to Mexico where the cartels roam. Maybe then those individuals the blessing it is to be born here.

Well said!!!

SPC (Join to see) Thanks for your input!

SSG V. Michelle Woods The fact that we even have to address this is plain silliness to me and most people here.

I agree SSgt Larry Olson. To me this is a complete NON issue. This is America! You want kids to learn and recite the Mexican pledge??? Deport your ass, period.

Ok, I don't know how to tag someone in my responses. I'm a noob I guess.

Ya wanna throw me a bone and instruct me on how the hell to do this lol?

Texas IS better than this sir. My state will correct this, fear not!

Oh and by the way, if you don't lke this comment maybe you should go with them! My great-Grandfather, Grand-father, Uncle, Aunt, Father and myself like may others her have fought and bled for the beliefs and this country. I think that gives us the right to say"GET OUT!"
