Pledging Allegiance to the Mexican Flag at a Texas Elementary School

At a school assembly at Velasco Elementary School in Freeport, Texas, the audience stood to show their respect as parent volunteers demonstrated their patriotism by pledging allegiance to the flag. Unfortunately, it was the Mexican flag.
Explains Principal Sam Williams:
We have stated in our mission statement that we are a campus that is a beacon of hope for a culturally diverse population.
According to a witness, the entire audience was asked to pledge allegiance to the flag. Calling in to KTRH, she asked:
Where is the sensitivity to the country and to the troops and the men and women that have fought and died for this country?
At least Americans aren't being asked to pledge allegiance to the United Nations flag — yet.
A fine flag when it's flying over Mexico.
