They are pledging allegiance to the USA, whats the problem? Y'all are overthinking this, no need to write letters or call congressmen or lose your job over it

No im not trolling. Im not going to be writing letters to anyone over the matter. Never was my plan. I simply told him he didnt have to do it if he didnt want to. I dont think him getting a F on one assignment in his sophmore spanish class will have any long term adverse effects.

There are a ton of things he is going to have to do that he doesn't want to do in his life (mow the yard, get a job, take a math test, etc). My kid didn't want to go to school today, he wanted to watch the rest of Cat in the Hat this morning

There is a big difference between doing things you dont like to do and doing things you feel are morally wrong.

It appears we were screwed a long time ago. I'm boycotting all English.

Dad - "Son, don't ever do anything that your conscience says not to do, speak your mind"

Son - "Good, because my conscience hates calling you sir because you're an idiot"

Dad - "Atta boy! You'll be a productive man in no time"

I doubt any of you would allow this scenario to play out right? Would you beat him and his conscience for a second or not?

We pretty much all agree that Duckman's son should do what he feels is right, as long as he understands that there is a consequence to his actions...

I am pretty sure we all also agree that his son should expand his viewpoints, and be open to multiculturalism (But not have it forced upon him) so that he can reap the benefits that it would offer him in a world very rapidly becoming more and more multicultural.


So someone gimme a refresher... what exactly are we discussing now? Who's on first?

I think this is where the conversation was heading, then we were gonna make a pit stop at widgeon grass, gun control and red snapper regulations.

After reading everyones replies perhaps my original post left some in a do or dont situation. It would truely (I blieve) come down to your evaluation of your own child. If my boy was a dipsheet slacker he would be forced by me to do the assignment. It is the fact that he enjoys and does well in his spanish class that leads me to believe that he is doing this based on his principles. True, some may say his principles are wrong. If you do please explain to me how his refusal to say the pledge in spanish is harming our country in any way more than saying the pledge in spanish.
