I’m the last to support indoctrination via Spanish. Don’t start me on my kid-show indoctrination rant.

But this is not the same as standard US allegiance, which is part of the day for all students. This is just a single class assignment.

Now, you can be offended, but it’s just an assignment as part of the cultural sampling often done in language classes. Not sure I’d be all angry over it as the teacher, but it’s hard to see this as a simple “rights” issue.

I can't verbalize my reaction to your arrogant provocative response.

Had you or one of your children been the object of this cultural bullying by an inferior culture I am sure your reaction would be quite different.

I could add more, but I will save it for the development of the suit.

On another thread the student said they were required to salute. That’s going way too far.

How does a public school think they are going to get away with this? The girl goes public and the school retaliates? Hope the school board attorney has the smarts to inform administration and staff not to retaliate against her (if she still happens to be there, which I hope she isn’t), because they will be in big trouble if they try it.
