Eden Prairie Students Pledge Allegiance to the Flag, En Espanol

Eden Prairie Schools is obsessed with the Spanish Language.

We have a Spanish Immersion school that now has it's own building- thanks to a helpful Superintendent and School Board Chair whose children attend the trendy-school.

As a Spanish minor-- with two Kindergartners learning the language albeit not via immersion-- nobody can accuse me of lack of appreciation for good old Espanol.  But in six years of study, there's one thing I never learned to say in Spanish-- the Pledge of Allegiance. 

Check out the new video on Eden Prairie Schools homepage on "Global Citizenship" which features kids saying the Pledge of Allegiance....in Spanish!

It's even funnier because the elementary schools here DON"T recite the pledge IN ENGLISH regularly.  (The video sort of makes you think they might!)  At one elementary school, it's "optional" on Mondays I'm told.

It is a world gone mad.

Eden Prairie and it's NUTTY Superintendent Melissa Krull really should win a blue-ribbon for absurdity over academics.

But-- hey-- at least your kid's learning non-profit grant-writing skills! 

I thought at the end of the video-- after each kid recited their ethnic background-- maybe they'd say "we are all Americans."

No such luck.  And we pay for all of this.
