Say What?
When did it become a crime for Americans to speak English? In Kansas, a family is suing a Catholic private school because it has a "English Only" policy. English should be the national language of the USA but it's not. The fact that every major country that is a world player requires that their students learn English yet for some reason some people believe making folks not only learn but understand English is discrimination or demeaning. The fact is the only reason this boy was speaking Spanish was not because of some pride of being Latino but to bully and talk about other kids without them knowing. Why else would he only speak Spanish when everyone else around him does not. He can speak Spanish on the way to school, after school and all weekend if he wants but for 8 hours while at school, there should be no reason why he can't speak English.
