High School Forces Kids to Recite Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic, Prompting Outrage

[timslash]

In the latest outrage involving schools indoctrinating children in Islam — with the full encouragement of the Obama Administration — a New York high school made students recite our national Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic.
They even forced the kids to change “one nation under god” to “one nation under Allah.”

Pine Bush High school was already embroiled in a scandal when it allowed rampant anti-Semitism to go on — the school was even sued for its failure to stop the blatant hate against Jews.
I haven't got any words... I'm not racist, i'm not against immigrants and of course i don't hate Arabic people!
But why now, should we forget about our roots and traditions? Why these children sing about things, they don't believe? It's absurd!

Not surprisingly, there's a tad more to it than an islamophobic rag mentioned.

English-Arabic version. Funny how when conservative thinktanks do it, and the Koch brothers fund it, it's ok.

A school in New York state has apologised after receiving complaints because a student recited the US Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic.

The school's foreign language department arranged for the pledge to be read in a different language each day for a week.

Complaints were received from people who lost family in Afghanistan and from Jewish parents, an official said.

Neither the US nor New York state has an official language.

The school district superintendant, Joan Carbone, told the Times Herald-Record newspaper that the Arabic pledge had "divided the school in half" and that she had received numerous complaints.
