The mother looks kind of like J-Lo, so I don’t feel they are as wrong as I previously thought.

No habla espanol..Nor will I! The crime is - why should I be a surrender monkey when Jorge refuses to close the border? Nothing infuriates me more than to see "American business" have dual launguages on the side of a package, in hopes of selling there products! What a bunch of sell-out whores. No wonder the saying "A good capitalist will sell you the rope to hang himself with" still stands strong.br>
Still waiting for Mexico to land on the moon, have nuke sub fleets, Get a decent government, etc., etc.

Good Lord! Is there any way to clone that judge? I didn’t think his kind still existed!

You need glasses. That broad looks like Jamie Farr as Klinger and she's as big a con artist.

The plaintiff ought to be thrilled with this ruling. Now her children have the opportunity to have a future that doesn’t involve menial labor.

If English is good enough to be recognized as the language of Aviation no matter what country the pilot is from, why is it not good enough to be the sole language in the school system, the American school system!

No habla espanol..Nor will I! I hear you. When asked in Spanish if I speak Spanish I invariably respond I only speak English, but I say it in French :)

Looks like they found a reasonable judge.

This is an important ruling. Hopefully a precedent!
“Marten said the policy didn’t rise to the level of a “hostile educational environment” — the legal standard applying to this case — and denied a request from three Hispanic families to end the practice at St. Anne.”
GOOD!
“The Spanish-speaking students said they felt harassed and ostracized by being prohibited from speaking a language common in their family and culture.”
It’s not that they CAN’T speak English, it’s that they won’t! Well, kiddies, you are not in your ‘family’ or your ‘culure’, you are at school. Get over it! And if you want Mexican ‘culture’, go to MEXICO!

A federal judge ruled Friday that a Wichita Catholic school policy requiring students to speak only English didn't break any civil rights laws. What claims to civil rights violations could be made to begin with? Unlike public schools this one is private and no one's arm is twisted to go it. They have a right to their own rules and I would bet most of those doing the complaining anyway are illegal aliens. Instead of a lawsuit where's ICE?

Or welfare. Perhaps they don’t see achievement as success. Maybe they see the legal system and PC politicians and whining and suing for everything they get as success.
They won’t speak English, but our legal system sure doesn’t scare them, does it.

Ironically, Catholic institutions have moved hell and high water to help these peasants “have a better life.”
This is how they repay those extending the hand of friendship-—talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Wonder where the invaders will do their “Victim Act” next?
These conniving greedy illiterates will sue anything that moves.........hoping to cash in.
