For 99.99% of the students that recite the pledge, it is a mind numbing rote exercise that means zero. So say it in any language. In fact, I think saying it in your non native language actually makes you think about the words and perhaps will break through the rote recital.
And which is more important, pledging allegiance to America, or what language it is spoken in? We do not want your allegiance if you can not say it in English?
Couldn't agree more.
