It’s an Obama World… The Obama Department of Justice moved in this week to protect teachers with unacceptable English skills. Judicial Watch reported:

Singling out teachers who can’t speak proper English in American schools—funded by taxpayers, no less—discriminates against Hispanics and others who are not native English speakers, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). As a result it violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the teachers must remain in their current position.
Unbelievable as this may seem, it’s a true story reported this week by Arizona’s largest newspaper. Ironically, the state launched the fluency monitoring program to comply with the bipartisan-backed No Child Left Behind Act, which requires states to create standardized tests that show public school students are reaching proficiency in core subjects like English, math and science.

I remember the days when it was a point of pride and professionalism to learn and speak the English language to the best of your ability especially when it was needed for work tasks and dealing with the public.
And I’m not just talking about immigrants either. Accents are charming and enjoyable to listen to but inability to communicate in a clear concise manner is unacceptable especially when teaching kids. A teacher is supposed to be an example to them.
I saw it start going downhill in the 70’s.
So did I and she was very pleasing to the eyes. However, most unfortunately she was gay. Que sera sera.

In college we had a Chinese TA and he was impossible to understand. We complained to the professor to no avail, so we just quit going to class. We were still able to pass by using our sorority’s study files ;-)
I guess elementary and high school kids need to go on strike like unions—on “count day” where they determine school enrollment to dole out the bucks.
A bunch of Hispanic kids with Hispanic teachers, when none of them is able to speak English correctly?
This is a huge problem in the border states and probably elsewhere. You cannot believe how many teachers cannot speak English well enough to communicate their subjects taught.
Chris Matthews thinks we’re the anti-intellectuals?
...We don’t need to speak no stinkin’ ingles!!!
