McAllen HS Students Forced to Recite Mexican Anthem, Pledge

According to The Blaze, Students in a McAllen, Texas public high school were made to stand up and recite the Mexican national anthem and Mexican pledge of allegiance as part of a Spanish language class assignment, but the school district sees nothing wrong with it:

Wearing red, white and green, students had to memorize the Mexican anthem and pledge and stand up and recite them in individually in front of the class.

That didn’t go over well with sophomore Brenda Brinsdon. The 15-year-old sat down and refused to participate. She also caught it all on video:



“I just thought it was out of hand, I didn’t think it was right,” she told The Blaze. “Reciting pledges to Mexico and being loyal to it has nothing to do with learning Spanish.”

Brenda's father, William, who share his daughter's thinking on the assignment, called the school district superintendent to complain.
