Teachers Upset Over Lamont School District Elementary Students Reciting Pledge of Allegiance in Both English and Spanish

Teachers in a California school district are upset over the district’s longstanding practice of having elementary students recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in both English and Spanish, KGET-TV in Bakersfield reported.

Reciting the Pledge in both languages has been the practice for elementary schools at Lamont School District since 2002, according to the station. The city is 97 percent Hispanic, and 35 percent of elementary students are taught in a bilingual program where instruction is half in English, half in Spanish.

“I think you offer a great way for students to feel included, and it’s the Pledge of Allegiance, no greater honor than to be able to say the Pledge of Allegiance in a second language,” Fred Molina, the principal of Alicante School, told the station.

But not all teachers agree: Barry Champagne told the station there has been no opportunity to meaningfully discuss the way the district has students recite the Pledge.

“One of the issues with it being in Spanish is that not everyone got a chance to voice their opinion doing it that way. Every time it was brought up for discussion, it was set aside and we never got a chance to democratically vote for it or even discuss it any further,” Champagne said.

Lamont Assistant Superintendent Ricardo Robles told the station this was the first he’s heard of complaints about the matter.

“We haven’t had any complaints from anyone about this issue,” Robles said. “We feel it’s a very positive thing for our district, for our students, for our community.”

Robles said he plans to meet with teachers to discuss whether any specific changes should be made.

Robert Price, an opinion writer for the Bakersfield Californian, defended the bilingual recitation in a column Saturday, writing that it’s important to have kids recite the Pledge in a way they understand, lest it becomes “just a string of random syllables one utters before one takes a seat.”

“[H]ere, in Lamont, we have children pledging their allegiance in a way they can grasp, in a ritual of patriotic commitment carried out by virtually all other American children,” Price wrote. “But that’s not good enough: Kern County demands conformity over comprehension, or what passes for comprehension at that age.”

      @SoiledDove They should learn English and recite it in English. If they don’t yet understand the words, then to dang bad. It’s not that hard to learn this short pledge. If they can’t speak English yet, they should still stand up, put their hand on their heart, shut the heck up, and within a few weeks or days, say it in English! If then can learn to sing along to a Justin Bieber song, they sure as heck can learn to say the pledge.

      Diversity is a blessing.
      Un assimilated diversity will be our down fall. We should appreciate what legal immigrants from different cultures bring to our nation. They have differnent ways of looking at things and that is healthy for us to grow as a nation.

      But at the end of the day they need to be honored and proud to call themselves Americans and embrace our culture and norms. Not the other way around.

      As far as illegal immigrants go,we need to seal the border first and then sort out what we have here.
      It’s easy to say send them all south and that will be that. But that solution is much esier said than done.

      I suggest that once the border is sealed a statute of limitations needs to be placed on the crime of entering the country illegally. Lets say 10 years or more. So if they are here and can prove they arrive more than ten years ago, have commited no other crimes since arriving, and are acively participating in society, an immigration judge should determine if their status could change to legal immigrant. Issue them a green card and allow a probationary period before allowing them to be naturalized.

      Those that have been in and out of jails should be deported and never allowed to return.

    Well, I have a couple of takes on this. As a Spanish teacher I always think it would be nice to have the kids memorize something in Spanish. When I taught at a Catholic school, I had them memorize their prayers in Spanish. At a public school, I don’t see much wrong with having my Spanish students memorize the Pledge in Spanish for extra credit, especially since all the schools I have been at don’t have the students recite the Pledge at all. Having them memorize it in Spanish also helps them focus on the words and their meaning a little bit more. And the news article said this is a bi-lingual school where students are learning their subjects in both languages, so I see it as less of a beef. Now if this were a typical all-English school, I could see the beef. Before you jump up and down and scream and holler about something, double-check the environment where it is happening. By the way, I am tri-lingual. I also speak Japanese and it has nothing to do with my ethnic background. I learned these languages by CHOICE.

(Spanish) If you teach a Spanish class as an elective subject, of course you should feel free to also teach the culture of what ever country you are interested in. Nowhere else in an American school should our pledge of allegiance be recited in a foreign language. Multiculturalism is destroying our nation just as it is in so many parts of Europe. Very few if any other nations would permit even a small portion of the abuse of their religious and cultural tenets as we do. I wonder what would happen to me if I go to Mexico and burn their flag, of maybe wipe my fundament with it as was done in Phoenix recently? In public?

      People who are shunned tend to stick together. If you welcome neighbors of all different kinds of backgrounds and languages, they are more likely to integrate into mainstream society, which is what you want, right? Instead of getting mad at people who can’t speak English, talk slowly and keep the sentences simple while they are learning. Remember your two years of required high school language? Do you think learning another language is easy? No, it’s not, and English is one of the hardest languages to learn. Just thank your lucky stars you grew up speaking English and didn’t have to learn it as an outsider.

    Granting mortgages to people who don’t have a dime in their pockets is social justice.

    I found that difficult to believe so I looked up the US Census for 2010 and found that 45.5% of Bakersfield’s residents are of Hispanic or Latino origin.

    I’m sure there are cities in Mexico or Central America that have less than 97% Hispanic population, so that large number left me quite curious.

      I wholly disagree with your point of view. While the US has yet to declare a national language, English is not only the de facto language of this country, but one must learn to read, write, and speak basic English to become a citizen. This is enough to, logically, require that ONLY English be used in ALL government institutions- whether its spoken or written. This includes our educational system with the exception of foreign languages be taught as an ELECTIVE! To require school students to say the US pledge of allegiance in ANY other language other than English demises the legitimacy of our nations sovereignty. And confuses the immigrants, coming here, that learning English is not necessary.

      Now- that said, I realize that California is the only state of the union having made both English and Spanish their official state languages. And therefore, educators do have a valid argument with respect to this story. But, as an American, I believe that this issue is so important to the sovereignty of the country that it should not even be a state issue. It should be a requirement to a part of the union as a whole- that the country has one official language- English. Thus- this is an issue that we must rectify with our next president. We should demand that the US declare an official language and hold every state accountable if they don’t comply.

      There is a large population of what I’ll call “Extremist Hispanics”. Rebuilding the Aztec empire, drug cartels, gangs, excessive breeding vs income/education levels, forcing businesses & schools to accomodate Spanish.

      What’s disgusting is that there have been SO DAMN MANY more than honorable Vets that have Hispanic genes that have died for the U.S. & what it stands for. I’m white, and hold many of these guys as heros…same with the black Airborne division in WWII & all those who have integrated & serve now in a capacity that I myself am not honorable or fit enough to do…same with Americans of Asian and any other gene pool.

      There is an extremist/racist group that is willing, able, & so far successfully doing what they believe is “taking back what’s theirs.” They WANT a race war. The WANT to breed everybody (all colors) out. They WANT to collapse our systems.

There are lots of folks whose families have been here since before there was a USA who speak Lakota, Navajo, and Spanish.

      And of course there a lot of us who “speak” Ameslan.

      I think we make a serious mistake in focusing on what language we use. I have some sympathy (but not a lot) for conducting official business in one language, and requiring fluency in English road signs and such makes sense, or did before we abandoned all languages in favor of ambiguous pictoglyphs.

      My question to you is, how many of the other nationalities that you mentioned speak their native language but also speak English? My ancestors came here in the mid 1700′s from Germany. They spoke German, but they learned English. In fact, it was once required to be able to speak English before you were allowed to enter the US.

      The point is- we have to have a sense of conformity otherwise it would just be chaos. The English language IS the de facto language of this country. AND- you have to read, write, and speak the English language as part of the requirement to become a legal citizen. Like it or not, albeit informal, the US has declared a national language- English. Our educators should (as it benefits themselves) to promote English, and exclude all others, to be used in the public school system. Of course, unless they like the chaos that is indicative of trying to promote and use many languages as opposed to only one.

      Just because most people want one official language, at the exclusion of others, doesn’t mean that they are against that language, culture, or nationality. They just want conformity and simplicity.

    News flash: if recited mindlessly as a tedious ritual that has to be gotten through every morning, it soon becomes a “random string of syllables” even in one’s own language.

      So can prayer or communion, it’s up to the individual to make it meaningful. It doesn‘t mean we shouldn’t do these things.

    Where ever you hear Spanish in America, you hear rudeness and disrespect. Divide and conquer. What kind of people are these who come to our land and spite us? We are paying for it literally and figuratively.

      I agree with you, but who the hell is going to put a stop to this? The majority wants illegals gone and not sponging off of us, but who can actually step forward and take the first step. They are getting more and more rights by our own politicians whom we have elected. We need to fire them and start over with people who will do the peoples bidding.
