For many years now, Edgerton High School in Wisconsin has allowed students in its Spanish class to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish over the Intercom one day of the school year. It also invites foreign exchange students (the school now has three) to say it in their own language.
This year, when Spanish students recited the Pledge on March 11, it caused a ruckus.
Parents complained. They demanded that the Spanish teacher, the principal, and the superintendent be fired. And they intend to press the issue at the school board meeting on April 28.

Are they serious? Parents need to be involved in their kid's lives but this is overbearing. Did the parents forget that this country was founded by immigrants? I bet they wouldn't oppose saying the pledge of allegiance in Irish, Swedish or even German. What is this teaching their kids?
