what's so offensive about the Star Spangled Banner in Spanish?

Chicago Sun-Times: "'The intention of recording 'Nuestro Himno' has never been to discourage immigrants from learning English and embracing American culture,' Kidron said. 'We instead view 'Nuestro Himno' as a song that affords those immigrants that have not yet learned the English language the opportunity to fully understand the character of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' the American flag, and the ideals of freedom that they represent.'"
