Belated ping to my post #20, which I inadvertently omitted when I posted it. We've had earlier threads about a similar effort by the California NAACP.

They aren’t Americans anyway.

And there’s not one adult at that school ( or even a history teacher) to correct this?

So....are they going to stare playing the Mexican anthem now.?? Wouldn't surprise me at all...

You reminded me to look at it. If its ideas were expressed in a faithful English translation and presented as an "American patriotic song," our bright young things would have already criticized it relentlessly.

It's strongly "militaristic." If "a foreign enemy" ("un extraño enemigo") should come, "heaven" ("el cielo") has given Mexico "a soldier in every son" ("un soldado en cada hijo")

The triggered-happy can see these lyrics as excluding the foreign (and people of Other Races), atheists (as well as agnostics, even deists, and other people of differing religious affiliations), pacifists, and women. ¡Puentes, no muros!

“”What kinda American name is Ariyana Kermanizadeh””

Usually any name that ends with a “deh” is Iranian! Could be wrong and I expect to hear if I am...

What kinda American name is Ariyana Kermanizadeh ?

It's a feminized version of Aryan - as in Nazi.

I find it offensive that a few communists can ruin a tradition for the entire student body. As this occurred in our local school district (though thankfully not our high school) I know how I will be using my 2 minutes at the next school board meeting ...
