“Parents in Wisconsin say don’t recite The Pledge Of Allegiance in any language other than English.

An uproar has begun in a high school in Wisconsin over The Pledge of Allegiance being broadcast in Spanish over the Intercom. Once a year at Edgerton High School Spanish classes have recited the pledge. This year a parent got hot under the collar.

On March 11 the daily announcements at Edgerton High School had the Spanish class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance as it has for many years. It only happens one day per school year but this year is causing a fuss.”*
