Unless we defend our culture the United States will become another nation’s culture. Most of our ancestors came here to begin anew and that includes becoming part of America. I wrote about this issue in a piece titled “We Speak English.”

Melissa Taggart says she was delighted that her son was learning a foreign language in the eighth grade — until she learned he was expected to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish.
And that he’d receive a zero if he didn’t.
Taggart, of Edmond, Okla., said the Pledge should be recited in English — and English only.
“English is our language…and I just feel it’s wrong that he would have to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America in Spanish. It’s just wrong,” a frustrated Taggart told Fox 4 Oklahoma City.
She said she couldn’t begin to understand why her son’s teacher would choose the Pledge for her class. And she was upset that her son was told he would receive a zero if he did not complete the assignment.
“There are poems, lyrics, and great writes that she could have chosen that emphasize the Spanish culture and to teach our children,” Taggart said. “Why the Pledge of Allegiance?”
She said she and her husband were appalled by the assignment and that they “don’t believe in it, and I do not want my child doing it.”
“I just feel that it’s wrong,” she told Fox 4, “that he’ll have to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America in Spanish. That’s not how it should be taught. That has nothing to do with the Spanish language.”
