Plege of Allegiance in Spanish sparks uproar

So, apparently this school in Wisconsin has been allowing students to recite the Pledge in several other languages, including Spanish, for many years. This is not the first time they do it, so why are people making such a fuss about it now?

I found it interesting that the state's constitution was originally written in 3 languages, English, German and Norwegian, but now people are getting all bent out of shape about the Pledge being recited in something other than English. The words are the same, the allegiance is still being pledged to the United States. So what am I missing? Where is the problem here?
