Principle, students recite Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic
FORT COLLINS - A Fort Collins principal stands by his decision to allow students from a multicultural group to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic on the school's intercom.FORT COLLINS - A Fort Collins principal stands by his decision to allow students from a multicultural group to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic on the school's intercom.

First, the students translated and read French. Then they recited the pledge in Spanish last fall. Monday, students read the pledge in Arabic.

"We have a tremendous amount of diversity in our school," Lopez said. "This is very American, not un-American."

The response has been mostly positive, said Lopez, though the calls and emails from upset parents have been very negative.

He's letting a MULTICULTURAL group which requested to recite the pledge in Arabic, do so?

How FUCKING dare he! Doesn't he know America is the land of the free, close minded white Christian bigots? He surely must know that Arabic is the language of the Quran, he's basically encouraging terrorism. jerkit

I don't get the problem?

It's not like they replaced the Pledge with the Fajr prayer, or something like that.
