Colorado HS reads Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic
A Colorado high-school 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.
Students have always said
it in English. This year, a group with about 30 students approached
Lopez with a request to translate and recite the pledge in other
languages.
First, the students translated the Pledge of Allegiance and read it
in French. Then they recited the pledge in Spanish last fall. Monday,
students read the pledge in Arabic.
Parents got mad. Not sure
why - it's not like a group of people who speak Arabic attacked America
and killed thousands of people a little over a decade ago.
