TX High School Students Made To Recite Mexican National Anthem, Pledge Of Allegiance
Students in a Texas public high school were made to stand up and recite the Mexican national anthem and Mexican pledge of allegiance as part of a Spanish class assignment, but the school district maintains there was nothing wrong with the lesson.
It happened last month in an intermediate Spanish class at Achieve Early College High School in McAllen, Texas — a city located about 10 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Wearing red, white and green, students had to memorize the Mexican anthem and pledge and stand up and recite them in individually in front of the class.
That didn’t go over well with sophomore Brenda Brinsdon. The 15-year-old sat down and refused to participate. She also caught it all on video:
“I just thought it was out of hand, I didn’t think it was right,” she told The Blaze. “Reciting pledges to Mexico and being loyal to it has nothing to do with learning Spanish.”
She said she was particularly offended because the presentations in teacher Reyna Santos’s class took place during “Freedom Week,” the week after the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and on U.S. Constitution Day — the same day as Mexico’s Independence Day.
“Why are we doing their independence when it‘s Freedom Week and it’s also Constitution Day?” Brinsdon said.

I agree with the school district. There is nothing wrong with learning another culture or language. No matter what day it is.
This isn’t even news worthy
Mexico is the biggest enemy we have and yet this school supports them!! Sounds like treason to me.
maybe the teacher should teach the truth about mexican narco-terrorist bands kidnapping americans and murdering them.
I don’t mind my kids learning another culture, but I’ll be damned if they’ll recite the Mexican pledge for ANY reason.
