A Texas high school student has filed a federal lawsuit against her
school and her teachers after she was punished for refusing to salute
and recite the Mexican pledge of allegiance.
The Thomas More Law Center filed the suit on behalf of Brenda Brinsdon alleging the McAllen Independent School District violated the 15-year-old girl’s constitutional rights when she was forced to recite the Mexican pledge and sing the Mexican national anthem.

Brinsdon, who is the daughter of a Mexican immigrant and an American father, refused. She believed it was un-American to pledge a loyalty oath to another country.
Ironically, the school district has a policy that prohibits a school from compelling students to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance.
The district also has a written policy that excuses students from reciting text from the Declaration of Independence if the student “as determined by the district, has a conscientious objection to the recitation.”
“There is a sad trend in public schools across our nation to undermine American patriotism,” said Richard Thompson president of the Thomas More Law Center. “But it’s encouraging to see students like Brenda stand up for America despite pressure from school officials.”
The TMLC told Fox News the district ignored its own rules when Brinsdon refused to recite the pledge of a foreign country.
What’s most troubling is the different treatment for someone wanting
to opt out of reciting the American Pledge of Allegiance compared to
someone as a matter of conscience wants to opt out of reciting the
Mexican pledge,” spokesman Erin Mersino told Fox News. (continue reading at Fox News Racio)
Even worse, the same school doesn’t compel students to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance.

Glad to see the student standing up, and a real law firm standing up with her (ACLU is absent along with all the politically servile lamestream media). Personally, screw pledging allegiance to any nation or flag but our own. The school district down to the janitor should be fired if they support punishing this student.

This is mad. I hope she wins her case. If this was my child you can bet the school would be getting a lawsuit.
