Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish Unpatriotic?

It wasn't the first time the issue has been raised, but when the Spanish class at Edgerton, Wisconsin High School recited the Pledge in Spanish over the intercom last month, you'd have thought they said "Heil Hitler!". The school principal and others have come under fire from residents and veterans who say that doing this is unpatriotic and it "dishonors our troops".

Well, I wonder if our over 100,000 Hispanic soldiers, marines, and sailors would agree? It seems to me that it would be an honor for Spanish speakers to recite the Pledge in any fashion. After all, it is a pledge to the flag of the United States of America no matter what language it is in. The Wisconsin Constitution was published in English, German, and Norwegian so that ALL of its citizens at the time could read it comfortably. Come on folks, in Edgerton or any other U.S. city; this is not the same as opposing illegal immigration - a much weightier topic. This is simply showing respect for each other, both ways. The Spanish speakers get to recite the pledge that is important to most Americans, and the Americans get to hear them honoring that pledge.

What would these people think if Roman Catholics in the United States started to say the liturgy and the Lord's Prayer in English? Would that also be disrespectful to the Romans?
