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

no we don't even say our pledge of allegiance in schools anymore, not to be mean but why should we say theirs.

It should either be the US Pledge of Allegiance, or none at all.

Hell no.

She did the right thing. The teacher probably thought it was an innocent exercise in recitation but that's disturbing because it shows that she doesn't understand what the Pledge really means and has no reverence or respect for what our flag represents.

Short answer...NO. Long answer...What the heck were they thinking? It should be illegal to swear allegiance to another nation if you're an American citizen. It's sad that many of us are viewed as being narrow minded because we object to this sort of thing. But most of us (here on this site) have seen what the rest of the world has to offer up close and realize what a fantastic county we have...for now.

I don't even think we have our kids reciting the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America any more in school. So, the mexican pledge...HELL NO!..We need to step back to the days when all children started the day with a morning prayer and Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America with your hand over your heart while facing the flag of the United States of America period...We would have a portion the class explaining why reciting the pledge is an important part of team building and loyalty to something other than ones self...To help in the development of respect and personal sacrifice which is lacking in many schools today. We used to also sing either the National Anthem or America the Beautiful after the pledge...Did this ritual every school day morning until 9th grade...then for some reason it just stopped in the 70s.

I just came across this post and I am horrified at the ignorance of this "Spanish" teacher. In the article it states she claims having students recite the MEXICAN pledge has something to do with the cultural of the SPANISH language?! Are you kidding me?!! I took Spanish in high school (in Texas) and was not forced to do this. Additionally, I am of Mexican decent (and Italian and some others) but always first and foremost, I am an AMERICAN. I will NEVER pledge, in a class or otherwise, allegiance to another country. Nor will ever allow my children to be forced to do so. WAKE UP AMERICA, take back our educational system for the politically correct ignorant liberals that are corrupting the youth of America.

My daughter could say the Pledge by the time she was three and still strapped into her baby seat in the car. It's up to is to instill this into our children. The new Common Core has some kids learning Islam vocabulary and no other religion. Video of this is on Fox News. They tried to force this CC on the catholic school my daughter attends and we opted out of Common Core. I'm broke but my daughter goes to a school where they say the Pledge every morning and are expected to Respect the American Flag. They pray every morning. It's the best use of my money. I'm investing in Americas Future by instilling it in my child!

It's America. Our national language is English. Our Pledge of Allegiance is to the Flag of the United States of America. If it's a public school, a public/gov't anything, English should be spoken and the USA should be represented. Period.

I'm all for assisting peoples of different origins/heritages integrate into this diversified country through translated documents etc., but notice I stated "INTEGRATE." Not come here to be segregated. We make a great effort for them. The same effort should be made by those who choose to make our country their new home.

HELL NO...nuff said
