Schools do not often inform parents of such things.

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?

Perhaps the problem is that the United States is a english speaking country.With the rise of legal and illegal immigrants refusing to learn english the multi-lingual pledge of alligiance is probably seen as another means of catering to those who refuse to learn english.
