How would I write my question in Spanish? Please, let me know if writing "el estudiant debe recitar el Juramento a la Bandera" estuvo correcto. Thanks. - Silvia 8 de Nov
sorry "estudiante" (verguenza) - Silvia 8 de Nov

"Would you mind if your child recites the pledge of allegiance?"

“¿Le importaría que su hijo recitara El Juramento a la Bandera?”

Juramento a la Bandera Juro fidelidad a la bandera de los Estados Unidos de América, y a la república que representa una nación bajo Dios, indivisible cón libertad y justicía para todós.

Oh, thank you robertico...I just hope she sees it. - webdunce 8 de Nov
No problem. Did you read that thread about controversial topics? Look at what happened here. Everybody missed the point of the question. - robertico 8 de Nov
Excelente, Robertico. Me agrada verlo en espanol. - mountaingirl 8 de Nov
Somehow Silvia's actual question got overlooked. :-} Thanks Robertico for seeing through the dust that was stirred up! ;-) - chaparrito 9 de Nov

I'm proud to say I said it all through school and believe it should still be practiced here in the US.

Hah, she wants us to translate the sentence...not pontificate about saying the pledge. (I thought she wanted our opinions at first too, but now that I´ve looked at it again I see otherwise).

If you are usted-ing the parent: ¿Lo moleste que su niño recite el Juramento a la Bandera?

If you are tu-ing the parent: ¿Te molestes que tu niño recite el Juramento a la Bandera?

I´m not a native speaker -- in fact, I´m rather a beginner at Spanish -- so you´d be better off to wait for a more confident translation. But basically my translation says "Would it bother you that your child recites the pledge of allegiance to the flage?" I may not have my tenses quite right, though.

We had to say it in Spanish in the 6th grade.

When I was in high school, they used to play God Save the Queen before movies and everyone had to stand up.

I like it when chidren say the pledge of alleigance, but in America it should be strictly by choice. Not because you were made to. If I am forced to say the words...With liberty and justice for all.... it doesn't mean much.

On the other hand, if a child does it willingly, that is wonderful.

When I was in elementary school, we said it every day, but by Jr High/High School it was no longer allowed. Funny thing was that we learned it Spanish and said it every day in Spanish class and before Spanish Club meetings. It's been almost 20 years and I still remember every word.

Oh, and no I don't mind if my child recites it - in any language!

I think the choice should be offered daily to the school children. My daughter really feels proud to say it smile

I am Buddhist, and even with my own beliefs about religion and God, I see no harm in reciting this pledge.

It should be by choice though, not forced smile

I don't see why anyone should care if it's said or not, they are just words...

I had to say it, although I never liked it only due to being tired and irritated in the morning and hating to stand up and speak when I just wanted to sleep.... LOL

I don't see why anyone should care if it's said or not, they are just words.. Many wars have been fought and lives lost over "just words". - qfreed 8 de Nov
Words......words are just the manifestation of our thoughts, fears, desires.....all things that lead to war!!! - sunshinzmomm 8 de Nov

Keep in mind I´m a beginner. Hopefully an advanced speaker or a native speaker will also offer a translation. But you should uncheck the "best answer" as that might prevent more people from looking at the question.
