I haven’t taken a foreign language - so I’m going to ask some naive’ questions.

1. Do students taking German/French have to do something similar?

In the German class, they start out singing the “Horst Wessel Lied.”

I answered this in detail in the other thread - but I learned French anthems and pledges in my French class.

We didn’t “Pledge” but we did recite. First year French lessons, and my teacher was cool (I wish I would have told her that back then, instead of busting her balls all day)

I don’t feel insulted that I was taught these songs and pledges, I DO feel insulted that I now know what a Burka is, and how it compares to a Hajib. I’m insulted that I am familiar with Eid, and I have Islamic holidays marked on a calendar.
