I learnt Italian, and one of our assignments was to have sex with 8 women in one night.
Well that is her constitutional right to refuse too.....

She has the right to refuse to do the assignment and her teacher has the right to fail her. It was an assignment for class not something students were being forced to do.

How'd ya do? Pass with flying colors?
Beside the point, so what if she doesn't want to? If they want us to say their PoA in this country, they should adopt English as their national language
Well, true, but that is not why I thought this was discussion-worthy. I agree with the student, -- the teacher went beyond her goal of teaching kids to speak Spanish and tried to force them to learn things about Mexico, including their pledge of allegiance.
Many people would like there to be no real boundary between the US and Mexico...as if all Mexicans have a right to live, work, and elsewise enjoy the benefits of being an American that the citizens of no other nation on Planet Earth has. We're attacked for calling illegal aliens "illegal aliens", and over and over, told that we MUST give the people from Mexico who are here but did not get our permission to enter "amnesty".
Whatever the teacher's POVs may be on immigration, she should not be abusing her position as a public HS Spanish teacher to foist them on her students.
I took French, so all I did was learn how to surrender. That's why I'm learning Russian now
Seriously though, she should have just said it. It was an exercise in her using her new language more than anything, and an opportunity to learn more about a country that we share the same continent with. I'm suspecting though if she were asked to recite the Canadian national anthem in french, she wouldn't have cared. Just another case of forced outrage IMO.
Learning the pledge of allegiance of Mexico in spanish has nothing to do with immigration policy.

WTH?
You want the US to merge with Mexico?

Mexican kids in US schools aren't even expected to say the US Pledge of Allegiance.
All of the children in my childs school are expected to say the pledge of allegiance.
