Banning the teaching and speaking of Spanish in Public Schools would expel many Illegal Alien Invaders from US Public Schools, and thus reduce the financial impact to US Taxpayers whose taxes pay for Public Schools.
The failure of the Obama Administration to protect the Citizens of the US from the expenses and job losses caused by the Invasion of Illegal Alien Invaders from Spanish-speaking countries proves that this Obama-caused "Dreamer" Invasion was implemented by Obama to "Fundamentally transform the United States of America."
Sure glad that YOU are sooooooo willing to pay YOUR increased Public School taxes to pay for Boehner’s approval of Obama’s pledge to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America.”
The Obama Dreamer’s Invasion is all about the money, your money.
Let’s just make them all wear little green sombrero hat badges on their shirts instead of a yellow star. That way, we’ll know WHO THEY ARE!!!
Honestly, they will be the largest welfare class ever in the history of the world. Some of you may think “they are such hard workers” (and some are), but in reality their children are the laziest pieces of humanity to ever sit on a couch since Fat Bastard in Austin Powers.
They live with their parents until they marry (if they marry) and leach off of them throughout their 20s and 30s. My wife’s cousins are worthless parasites living off of their almost invalid grandma’s SS Checks. They are 29 & 27 respectively. No jobs, but with kids. Go figure!
How’s that Hope & Change?
I think the New Mexico constitution is also in Spanish, and was since its inception.
I don’t know about that. I speak Spanish, and I never though it helped me understand English better.
So, if you ban speaking Spanish, how are we supposed to say the names of half the places out west and elsewhere?
And how will we teach Spanish to those who wish to learn it? Business people, literature majors, teachers, investors, doctors, ministers, missionaries, and so on.
Enquiring minds from Colorado, Texas, etc., would love your answer... As would those of us who speak it as a second language (seven years of Spanish in school).
You didn’t really think this through, did you?
We’re almost to the point where it’s, “What are we going to do about the few racist gringo kids who only learned English at home? Should we have special Spanish classes for them or make them learn Spanish on their own?” For a few years now, white kids have been a minority of U.S. babies born. Let’s face it. We are GOING to be a Spanish-speaking country. It’s only a matter of time.
Agreed! All it takes is for doormat Citizens to continue to be doormat Citizens.
Yes. And English needs to be the national language. YHVH help us!
Whoa!
Who’s gonna do my handyman work?

Like the Cajuns were some 100 million strong ethnic group? How many of you are there, or ever were, 300,00 or so? To do business with their neighbors, English was mandatory for every other American ethnic group, like yours.
But now the English arithmetic is over. The United States has never faced this kind of ... invasa-gration .... or whatever TF it is. The Latinos, Hispanics, Ticos, Guatafricos, Chicanos, or Ricky Ricardos are on the way to becoming the country's MAJORITY. I was in a small town in central North Carolina ... their Ace Hardware runs in Spanish first! North Carolina?
Comparing this mass movement of entire populations to the Cajuns, or the Italians, or the Irish, the Germans, or the Swedes is absolutely a non-starter. The Mexicans alone dwarf the number of all immigrants combined for the last 150 years. If everyone speaks Spanish, why use English, the new minority language?
Ecoute-moi mon ami, trop de piment rouge dans ta jambalaya!
Of course not. But it should be banned as a substitute for teaching in English, once the Spanish speakers have become reasonably acclimated.
My Mexican tenants are a hard working mom & dad with four daughters. The oldest at 17 is working full time this summer and works part time during the school year. The next is about to have her quinceanera and will likely be working as soon as she hits 16. I wish our homegrown hoodrats had the work ethic of these folks.
The kids are nice, fully bilingual and smart. Dad's English is excellent, mom's not so much, but the daughters are drilling her.
Well, I guess maybe I look at it differently because I had a Spanish Linguistics class and looked at the roots and historic changes and stuff. Maybe I shouldn’t generalize it to everyone, but I found it interesting.
Yes I broad-brushed in my post of course. My wife and I are pushing 40. We grew up Hispanic in Hispanic neighborhoods, in my case in Mexico for the most part. My first job was when I was 12 years old—full time cleaning carpets and floors! Hers was when she was 13.
I think things are very different now. Most Hispanic kids that are here are “Americanized”. Fat, lazy, and into all kinds of bad things (hoodrat culture). I’m not saying all Americans are lazy, but what I am saying, is that the 2nd generation kids will never have the work ethic their parents have and the parents are enablers.
My example in an earlier post about my wife’s two worthless cousins paints the picture. No jobs, not married, they have kids, live with Grandma, live off of Grandma, not willing to look for work.
I think what should be done is that all education (except for language classes)should be only in English.
ALL students in American schools should be required to know English.
No country can survive a large population groups that speak a different language.
I resent going into Lowes and Home Depot and seeing everything in two languages -- that destroys the incentive of assimilation.
Without a common language our Republic will not survice
Spanish has been being taught in public schools for decades. Heck it is even taught in private schools.
The Spanish taught in schools is no the same Spanish the illegals speak. It is Castillian, the Spanish of Spain, not of Latin America. The Hispanic kids have as hard a time with it as ghetto kids have with the English taught in schools.
“The Spanish taught in schools is no the same Spanish the illegals speak. It is Castillian, the Spanish of Spain, not of Latin America. The Hispanic kids have as hard a time with it as ghetto kids have with the English taught in schools.”
Oh how I wish this were so.....It should be though.
If it’s taught by “wise-latina’s”, I guarantee you it’s some form of New World dialect.
No two countries speak it the same. I love using “vosotros” instead of “nosotros” and throwing everybody for a ride. Most don’t understand it. My wife doesn’t understand half of what I say and she’s Cuban.
O rubbish! The Spanish taught in American Schools is usually (A) Total Nonsense ... assuring that no American will ever be able to find a bathroom or a glass of water in ANY Spanish-speaking country. (B) is of course, just as dumbed-down as any other post-1960 High School course.
Furthermore, due to Affirmative Action many "Hispanic" Spanish teachers from god-knows-what-Third World Hellholes, speak pretty damn bad Spanish and even worse English.
In ye hoary olden days, Spanish Class was where one found the students thought to be moderately endowed ... but not dumb. The sharper chisels in the school toolbox were directed to French and German. Of course, in those days, Latin was also taught ... even mandatory in the better outfits.
In regard to this Castilian/Latin American thing: Spanish was the first European Language to have standard grammar and spelling, and was designed purposely by royal decree to make the baby steps very easy ... after all it had to be taught to Incas, Aztecs, etc. very fast in order to (1) convert'em to save their souls, and (2) to get more work out of'em. Castilian Spanish is understood everywhere (and respected), the period of unintelligibility is very short ... say 5 minutes?
Also note that even the most uneducated Spanish speakers are apt to use very sophisticated and quite correct grammar. Weird. No equivalent "I-me" mixup. No "was-were" mistakes. No "has ran, or has went" stuff ... as one hears every day among our natives ... even on TV!
¡Que te vayas con Diós. Te absolvo!
I can’t speak for anywhere else, but I do know the Spanish being taught in the local public high school is the same as I was taught in Catholic high school in the 70s. The French my daughter is being taught is also the same as I took in HS.
Oh good grief.
Allowing students to learn a second language is not the end of the country.
Legal immigrants to this country sometimes speak Spanish, your reaction is just weird.
Seriously banning a language.
