Mexican flag
http://www.wfaa.com/story/local/2014/11/01/13811384/

You just can't make this stuff up. After watching the story, what is your reaction? Again like the former Marine who gets banned from his daughter's High School, we seem to be seeing a very aggressive attitude against American Exceptionalism and this is supported by President Obama.

What are your feelings about this and what would be your response?

Only if they lived south of the border. Those who are trying to make students say the Mexican pledge should be deported. This is AMERICA, not Mexico.

SSgt (Join to see) I agree they are. That is why there is such a huge controversy over voter ID laws

Certainly think it is fine for it to be 'taught', which is the same way I feel about our pledge, but students should not be 'required' to recite any pledge on a regular basis. Especially when they are too young to really understand the meaning of what they are reciting. IMO requiring such is nothing short of brainwashing.

Children can't sign checks, if you're old enough to remember those, and yet we tell them to recite a pledge of allegiance?

Political indoctrination of any kind in schools is counter productive.

Children are not Robots, reciting a pledge once a day, or even twice a day will not make them respect the constitution or the flag.

This is a no brainer and I think I can say almost every other Service Veteran would say hell no to reciting another countries pledge of allegiance in OUR country on OUR soil! I have no problem with reciting their pledge if they had dual citizenship with Mexico and the USA. But for American citizens to be required to review the Mexican Pledge of allegiance instead of our pledge of allegiance is outrageous in my eyes.

Learning about another country, especially our neighboring countries is one thing. But we are not members or citizens of that country. We should not be taught to say their pledge of allegiance. I am proud to be an American.

So children aren't allowed to sing the National Anthem, yet they want to make it okay to sing the Mexican National Anthem? What is becoming of this country? I'm just baffled.

CPT (Join to see) The Pledge of ALLEGIANCE! Pledging to Mexico. A country that allows a steady stream of illegal aliens. You would think that those here legally must feel about this.
