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?

Remarkably, you get people who think it is ok. It is never okay and never allegiance to a country who seek refuge here....

Oh he!! no!! Also we should not have any bilingual classes being taught in this Country. If they came here legally, they came because this is the best Country in the world, with the most freedoms and the best way of life! If their way of life and laws are so great, go back.

Playing devils advocate here, ( I personally think it was a poor decision by the teacher) is it acceptable for students of Englush in foreign countries to say our pledge of allegiance in an effort to understand it's significance?

SSgt Rusty Baker Do you think kids should be forced to say another country's Pledge of Allegiance?

I think the loss of respect kind of goes both ways and in this instance the teacher took the leeway and ran with it and when the parent found it he was naturally incensed.

Absolutely not....we have a pledge that everyone student in America should be required to say.

I would add too....since there is no official language of the United States, it would be a hard argument to say everyone needs to speak english, but the pledge, the national anthem, those are no brainers.

No child should be forced to swear fealty to any government. They didn't choose their country of birth and they can't enter into contracts until the age of majority.
