AM I A ROCKET SCIENTIST OR ARE THEY JUST MORONS? part 4a

so many issues...please allow me a little anecdote to begin my point.

the classroom day started as it usually did; the teacher (me) opened the door around 08:15ish so students could come in and prepare themselves for a day of teaching and learning (hopefully). they (the students) sat down after putting their backpacks and lunches away, sharpening their pencils and getting the needed papers to complete the morning assignment which was written on the board. the teacher (me again) did his best to greet students as they came in and work on organizing paperwork which needed to be filed or corrected (a never-ending job). at 08:30 the teacher closed the door to the classroom and then sat at his computer to take attendance. after attendance the teacher went up front to get the student's attention so the morning procedures could begin.
the children knew the procedures well; first would come prayer (i work at a private Christian school) then the pledges, then the weather and finally the calendar. after all this the teacher would then begin the lessons for the day. now, to the students the morning procedures went the same as usual. however, they didn't notice their teacher during the pledges ( i always stand behind the students as we all look at the flags-none of them are mexican). they didn't notice as their teacher struggled through the pledge of allegiance to the u.s. flag (not the mexican flag).
now this struggle wasn't because of lack of memory...the pledge is quite easy;
"i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands. one nation, under God, indivisible. with liberty and justice for all."
(for those in this country who do not know it).
it wasn't because i dont want to say the pledge..i am a citizen of the u.s. and this is my country and yes i would die to keep it safe.
it was because i had to keep myself from crying...you see the memory of a mexican flag hoisted above an upside down flag of the u.s. was still in my memory. the image of high school students so blatantly flaunting their hatred for this country was still in my memory. the thought of high-school principals and teachers excusing such behavior as "social invovlement"and part of their curriculum. the idea of giving those doing such actions, condoning such action and encouraging such actions a "guest worker" status and then allowing them to become citizens.
if the tears had been allowed to come they would have been tears of anger....of frustration. i know where my allegiance lies, and i know where their allegiances (the protestors and their supporters) do not lie. it is sickening that those i have elected don't care about anyone's allegiance...just what they believe to be politically expedient. i am assuming that those i have elected learned the pledge of allegiance when they were growing up, or that they are able to speak and understand english. so, perhaps (being politicians) the words that come out of their mouths have no value. perhaps they have forgotten or have not bothered to read the beginning of a rather important historical document

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

last time i checked this wasn't the preamble to the mexican constitution. note that it says "of the united states" not of mexico, or guatemala, or libya, or syria, or ireland, or iraq, but "the united states". this does not mean that when we have someone in our country (who is not form our country) that we do not attempt to extend these rights to them. however, we are a country of laws and when someone chooses to break those laws we "the people of the United States" have the right to revoke those rights. i think thats part of what"establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," means. of course i could be wrong i am not a "con.-law" professor, or a lawyer, or a judge. just a citizen of the u.s.
