They will be better off if the first words they learn are the Pledge
Was at a meeting yesterday wherein speaker was discussing the complications of adding Spanish language options to their phone system. Another person at the meeting said, Aren’t we just enabling them? Shouldn’t we be expecting everyone to conduct business in English?
Since this was a meeting of several government agencies, I was pleasantly shocked!
I agree.
How did so many of these kids make it all the way to High School without learning English that school policy is dictated by it?
I think it would be cool to have in Spanish class only. The Latin class would be interesting, too ...
“Ego famulatum vexillo Iunctarum Civitatum Americae spondeo ...”
If first period happens to be Spanish class, sure.
French in french class
and german in German class.
I remember having to ask to go to the bathroom in Spanish class in Spanish. Bano is pretty much all I remember.
This is stupid...
From the article:
“”In the Spanish class itself, where they’re the only ones who are going to hear it, if they do it there, that’s one thing,” Decker said. “But to do it over the loudspeaker so the whole school hears it — I believe it’s unpatriotic. It’s wrong.”

wasn’t it just last year that there was a Spanish version of the National Anthem being sung, until the translation revealed it was not what Francis Scott Key had in mind?
Yes, you’re right about that. Just as they seem to change anything they don’t like about this country....NEVER their country that they ran from! We keep talking about how this country will change in 10-20 years and may become bi lingual, etc. Well, it’s here now. The country is 15 % ‘hispanic’ and when you add that to the 1/3 that is mushy headed liberal, they already control the majority voting power.
Done! Freeped!
Wisconsin PING?
Yes, in their ESL classes which should be their primary subject, eg at least 3 class periods per day, until they have learned enough English to join the rest of the students.
Hello, this is America. We speak English here. If you want to pledge allegiance to a country in Spanish, go live in a Spanish speaking country and say THEIR pledge in THEIR language.
Follow the link to the article. That way we don't bother posting another thread on it.
FReeped....Yes...24%, No....73%
