that particular bus route serves one of three language academies. The one at Phalen Lake is for Hmong students learning English.

The headline is extremely misleading and probably purposefully written to irritate.

They were not "kicked off" for "speaking English".

People really need to read this more closely before getting to excited about it.

Somehow, I picture a liberal headline writer saying to his buddies: "Watch what kind of reaction this one gets from the right wing nut jobs!"

Segregating these kids onto non-English speaking buses is bad enough, they don't have to invent headlines to irritate people. BTW, I think that most of the "right wing nut jobs" here can read and understand exactly what they're reading.

But the article said:
"So even thought the district apologized, if they want to still go to Phalen, they are going to have to get their own ride."

So they won't be allowed to ride any bus to get to their school, even though their family pays taxes for the transportation.

Residents in the USA should be required to be able to speak English. No English-speaking American should be deprived of any taxpayer-funded service for not being able to speak a foreign language.

Left-wing "nut jobs" would argue in favor of what the public school adminstrators did by posting arguments beside the point and calling us "right wing nut jobs."

I've worked in public schools. Most of the teachers and administrators in those places often exhibited lunatic behavior, and most of the material given to students was garbage.

You are correct: "read carefully"

The driver determined that the 3 kids were not Hmong students (because they spoke perfect English and didn't look Asian) and (IMHO) would have been taken to the wrong school.

Deliberate race-baiting article...you called it MSF

"Somehow, I picture a liberal headline writer saying to his buddies: "Watch what kind of reaction this one gets from the right wing nut jobs!"

And somehow I picture you to be just such a liberal agitator. After all, what else do liberals have to do but cause trouble in America?

These kids were told by the driver that his bus was for 'non English speaking students only', and that they would not be getting a ride home from him, and that they would not be picked up again by him. They were twin girls aged 10 and a boy aged 8. This was a monumental act of negligence for causing a serious safety issue for these little kids, and a potential civil rights violation. Underlying this moronic action by the bus driver are the usual liberal suspects, namely, multiculturalism, reverse discrimination and a politically correct mentality that has caused dementia in the American mind .

OK, this nut job read in the article where they claimed they were our of district since they moved and needed to get a ride themselves to the school if they still wanted to attend.

Now I can (just being a dumb right wing nut) assume several things. One is that they still can be taught normal English subjects at this school and are not prevented to attend. Second since the bus when right by their house, that the bus was picking up it's PC subjects just fine right where they were. I assume the bus did pick up Hmong students that far out, but not English students.
