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. [ link to www.9news.com] |

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. Last Edited by LSDreamer on 01/30/2013 02:00 PMHuman decency is not derived from religion.

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