Texas Students Rise For Pledge to Mexican Flag
Via Dread Pundit Bluto:
Students at a Texas elementary school assembly rose while “parent volunteers” recited a pledge of allegiance to the flag of…Mexico:
During a short school assembly Friday, several parent volunteers read a pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag. Since a parent complained on the Chris Baker show on NewsRadio 740 KTRH that afternoon, the issue has become a focal point of some Houston talk radio shows.
At about 10 a.m. Friday, students and parents gathered in the gym for an assembly commemorating Diez y Seis de Septiembre, Sept. 16, when Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain. The school’s bilingual classes from different grade levels performed songs, Williams said.Everyone was given a small Mexican flag and a group of six or seven parents recited the pledge from a script, Williams said. The students did not recite it, he said.
The principal of the school is backtracking, characterizing the incident as some sort of historical teaching method.

In Texas and other border states some bilingual schools use Telesecundaria invented by Mexico that is a type of distant learning. I would not be surprised if this school practices it. It can serve to make sure that children continue to be taught by the Mexican Public school system.
