Mexican flag

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?

HELL NO! This the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not Mexico. If the teacher wants our kids to say a pledge to Mexico then that teacher needs to go to Mexico and teach. I for one would instruct my kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and sit down for the Mexican pledge and refuse to say it.

Thanks for your reply and I agree, yet we have people making excuses for it.

Absolutely not! This is the United States of America. You don't see Americans demanding the Pledge of Allegiance be recited in Mexico or other countries. I'm personally sick and tired of illegal immigrants getting everything. You can even get a car without a license in Texas--"No license, no problem" is seen on some billboards.

This is unbelievable! The kicker is when the superintendent attempts to justify it by saying it was a one time thing and that they recite the US Pledge of Allegiance daily. I find it highly offensive to even ask an American citizen to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to another country! I applaud this young lady's conviction in standing up for what was right...outstanding young American!

SGT Artiesa Woods She is strong young woman and American and I am proud of her and her father. We are getting way too much bad news from leadership an this saddens me because of what others have done for this country. Thanks again. And thanks for your opinion. Respectfully, Larry

No. We have the right to say or not say the pledge in the States. If I was a citizen of Mexico, I would want the same rights. However at the same time and out of respect, I would say the Mexican pledge if I were a citizen of Mexico.

If it's true, (which I seriously doubt), then no. My parents are English and to sing "God Save the Queen" in the US is absurd

Upon reading the article, I think it was blown out of proportion, it seems it was a one off event in an attempt to learn Mexican culture. The instructor used poor judgement and the student got her "knickers in knot".

If they were required to learn the Spanish or Argentinian national anthem, or each student pick a different Spanish speaking nations anthem, would that be different? Or is it because it's Mexican in Texas, which is divisive, similar to Cuban here in South Florida.

No, none except for the USA. It is time we got back to America First! Taking care of our own and stop exploiting race to get votes.

Should Canadian border states be required to say the Canadian pledge of allegiance? Should Florida say the Cuban pledge of allegiance? Should Massachusetts say the Irish pledge of allegiance? This is ridiculous. This country just locked up one of our brothers in arms for making a wrong turn for how long? What do we owe this country? Their contribution lately has been drug wars and wrongful incarceration of an American citizen and Marine. This country has gone soft. It's disheartening.
