Pledge in spanish

[Lohman446]

You have the right not to say it

The teacher has the right to punish you for insubordination and fail you

If you feel strongly enough to accept the consequences, take the stance

But do not whine when you take a stance and there are consequences.

I didnt really understand the problem with languages until i moved to So-fla, i live 15 miles north of miami, and attend a school where atleast 5 students in each class are unable to do the asignments as they do not speak english at all... im the only american person in my american history class for example.

While I personally would not say the pledge, I feel that the common practice of translating it might lead to less racism and bigotry. I live in california, and am probably more on the radical side, but on this topic, I would stick with whatever i felt like.
It really shouldn't be a big deal either way.

In our district, we don't say the pledge at all anymore, because it mentions God, and in the constitution, it says there will be a boundary between church and state... etc. Saves us a few minutes in the mornings.... yay... Besides, when was the last time you said the pledge because you were feeling patriotic rather than because you were pressured into saying it because everyone else was. If you're athiest,or non-christian,etc. that's always another reason not to recite it, because you don't believe in God.
