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

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

You can add or subject God. That is up to you.

Proud of Mexico but stealing across the border. How pitiable.

Of course it shouldn't be required... nor, according to the article presented, was it ever required. The student seems to have been given an alternative assignment without any fuss.

The question that should have been asked is, should students be encouraged to say the Mexican Pledge of Allegiance? The answer to that question is definatly no... they should only be saying the US Pledge.

F---------K NO!!!!!!! Only 2 words for an answer that come to mind for this question!!!!!!

And this followed after Fortune had an article saying Mississippi was the most corrupt state. And here we have Chicago and an investigation into the intent of this program.

There is no way in Hell than I would allow for this travesty to happen and although she was given an alternative assignment, she still failed. Once again, regardless of who did what when, there is a huge inconsistency and pretty much affirms the inane nature of Nationalism that runs contrary to the state of Texas and to the nation.

This is not the first lawsuit involving how patriotism should be handled in the classroom. In June of last year, a teenager and her mother, Carolyn Raja, and the American Civil Liberties Union took on the Brownsville, Texas, school district after the student was forced to stand during the U.S. pledge of allegiance.

In that case, Judge Mark Hornak ruled that students have a constitutional right to pass on reciting the pledge. Coincidentally, some states, such as Michigan, have passed laws requiring students to pledge allegiance to the flag each day.

In the McAllen case, the school allows students to opt out of the pledge of allegiance. Whether the school retaliated against Brenda for opting out of the Mexican anthem is still unclear.

I'm a teacher now and I think this shouldn't go further than a severe reprimand for the teacher. The system is set up where teachers submit lesson plans that are often very vague about the exact material that will be discussed that school officials overlook. It is usually just to make sure that the teacher is doing more than nothing and staying on track.

I don't really like that this sort of title makes the content more sensational than it actually is. This is a case where one Spanish teacher in one school at one school district, acted independently to try to create a Spanish Lesson where she made a horribly poor choice in the matter of how to help educate her Spanish class. This isn't a case where all students across the Midwest are being forced swear allegiance to a foreign power. Realistically, it only affected about 20 or so students at the most. Keeping that reality in mind, it serves more value as a warning to other teachers in linguistics on what is and is not appropriate in the future than it does in showcasing the downfall of American society.

That said, a completely inappropriate lesson was created by a teacher who obviously doesn't have the same values as most of us here, but it really shouldn't go much further beyond actions against the individual teacher involved. I honestly feel like all the media this story has brought up has probably done more harm to innocent administrators than is warranted, who were likely just as shocked as the rest of us and with little control over knowing what was going to come out her mouth as well.
