A small town in Upstate New York stands divided after their high school's decision on Wednesday to broadcast the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic.
It was meant as a way to celebrate National Foreign Languages Week--each day, the announcements and pledge at Pine Bush High School would be recited in a different tongue.
However, the outrage it caused in some students and parents quickly forced administrators to issue an apology and a promise to henceforth only recite the Pledge of Allegiance in English.
Now, lines have been drawn in Pine Bush (pop. 1,600) as some students and teachers are outraged that an apology was issued at all while others applaud the decision and say the pledge should never have been recited in a language other than English.

Bull Shit!! The Pledge of allegiance should only be done in English. It is the only language and should be in America.
Please tell me this is a joke. This is why I served in Iraq...for this crap. Really? This is America. Our language is English. If you don't like it take your freaking prayer rugs and go back to whatever crap hole country you crawled out of. Unbelievable.
Liberals = stupid
