I’m o.k. with Native Americans saying the pledge in their language. They became part of us by treaty, not losing their heritage, but adding to it.

BUT, the words must be of the same pledge all Americans make; not something some social justice warrior thinks up. Our country (and flag) stands for liberty and justice for all, not compassion or those other things, no matter that some people thinks those values are superior.

If Native Americans have a tribal flag that stands for compassion and various other things not in the U.S. pledge, that’s o.k. by me. Charity should start at home. Part of Trump’s America First agenda is that we take care of our working class families, who have been forgotten for about fifty years now. It’s not that we hate Central Americans or anybody. It’s that we take care of our own first. Native American tribes, being a much smaller social unit than a giant country, should be especially anxious for the welfare of its members.

As for immigrants, in choosing to come here, they choose to join us. They should say the pledge in the common language of this country.
