Reciting or singing is optional and should never be enforced. It is improper to recite a pledge of allegiance to a country that you are not a citizen of. [/quote] :LINK-pls: [/quote]

A teacher in Chicago has come under fire after he told a Hispanic student, who is a US citizen, to go back to her country after she didn't get up during the national anthem.
The teacher's remarks were made to a student at the Nicholas Senn High School last month, who said she remained seated during the anthem as part of a protest against police brutality, US immigration policies and anti-immigrant political rhetoric.
Yesica Salazar, 17, said the teacher responded by asking her if her legs were broken, and recalls she was told 'go back to my own country if I didn't want to stand.'
