I have no issue with a teacher wanting students to talk ENGLISH in her class. It is disrespectful to the teacher to talk in a language she does not know. She is responsible for those students and if she does not know what they are saying (or planning) then she has a right to call them out for it.... in my opinion

If they don’t speak English, they are not Americans.

I listened to the tape. I cannot see her on the tape, but the teacher sounds like a white woman.
She will be fired and persecuted. Anything white, English, or patriotic is "Racist!" today.

It’s cultural.
Nothing racist about it

NJ teacher tells students to speak American, ignites debate.Am I at free Republic?
or in the twilight zone
Of course we should speak English we are in the U.S.
In schools paid for by American taxpayers.
That teacher should file a complaint, if she is forced to teach in a foreign language without her consent.
Where are the American parents?

If you come to this country to work or live. Then speak English. You have to speak the language to make it or you stay in poverty. Just where the Democrats want you..
To: blueyon
Some people can barely speak their own native language.
It’s probably a cultural thing, but it may also be an IQ problem.

If these teachers, who stand up to the racist thugs get fired, they should start go fund me sites. I know I’d contribute.

what are former alumni?
This nonsense has gone too far. Now it’s discriminatory to expect students to speak the local language. If the student who walked out knows English s/he should speak it in that class. We don’t need to turn this country into Babel.

They are upset about being told to speak American in an American classroom. This is BullSpit. F their culture, F their language, F their Mehican privilege. You walk out of class = suspension. Bring a Mehican flag to school = suspension. You stage a protest = suspension.

What race is "American?" It it racist to require people to speak American English in American schools? If it is racist, why? Are non-Americans simply incapable of learning American English? Is it all races, or just some?
It's like the leftists who claim requiring ID to vote is racist, because Blacks are incapable of getting legal photo ID. They're just not capable, because they're Black. When you throw that in the leftists' faces, they get all in a huff. But that's what they're implying when they call voter ID laws "racist."

Good advice.If you don’t speak American your chances of having anything resembling a normal,serene,financially secure life are pretty damn close to zero.

I actually am warming to “speak American.” It is quite different from “English” as they speak it.
To: blueyon
"You're being racist," that student can be heard saying on the video. "I know how to speak English." So why were they speaking Spanish then? DISRESPECT.

I worked in a ghetto school and those kids sounded like they had marbles in their mouths.
Their ghetto patois was strong, and my standard deal was to feign misunderstanding and say “Sorry, I only speak human”, and I made them repeat their sentence correctly.
I never got in trouble for that!
