Principal Bans Hispanic Students from Speaking Spanish

[redhawk23]

My grandmother said this many times, and she was perfectly right...

"If we went to another country, most Americans would have to learn their language to survive; the same should be true here."

Like it or not, English is still the dominant language spoken in the United States, with 80% of citizens using it daily. By comparison, Spanish is spoken fluently by around 13% of the populace. I have no problem with Latinos communicating privately in a common tongue, but when you're in a place where most people don't share that language, its respectful to adapt.

The students obviously know both languages. Bilingualism is something we should seek to support in our education, not suppress it.

The United States has no federally recognized official language.

English is just one immigrant language among many that happened to be used by one of the earliest waves and by those in power.

Texas kid was like: Vamoose to the rodeo and lasso some broncos....
Teacher: You're banned for speaking Spanish in Texas.
Kid: But I don't even speak Spanish.


If you didn't get that, all those are Spanish loan words)

Welcome to the U.B.A. (The United Borg of America).

Speaking of beisbol, I'd love to see them ban Spanish there. They'd lose some 30% and some of their best players.
