Why was it controversial for the Pledge of Allegiance

I feel like I'm missing something in this story:

Why would the school "apologize" for this? How would anyone in the community object to this? This sounds like political correctness run amok -- who says the Pledge can only be recited in English? How bizarre.

Incoherent post about a non-story from an unknown website that took it down in the meantime. Yep, I'm convinced.
