Considering its an elective foreign language I see no harm in using it as a tool to help the students learn. However, if it was something like a school trying to make it be recited in both languages to appease bilingual students thats another story.

 

I have no problem with asking students to do it, but I'm pretty sure its been ruled unconstitutional to require them to do so.

Interesting. If there was a group of people who wanted to pledge allegiance to this country, you would say no if they wanted to do it in another language?

Absolutely. And don't let him catch those bastard deaf people trying to recite the pledge in ASL or there will be trouble.

That's an interesting point. If English was the official language--how wold schools for the deaf get funding to teach ASL?

 

Also, what would happen to the efforts to conserve the native american languages?

In Computer Prgramming class, would they make you recite the Pledge in binary?
