Your tax dollars at work.

What if I speak Klingon or Elvish? Can I sic the “justice” department on skrewls that don’t send me notices in my native language?

Here’s an even trade: show school district proof of legal residency or citizenship for documents in Spanish. No displayo, no geto.

The SPLC apparently started this. To understand more about the SPLC see How To Recognize The Bigot In The Argument.

It is not exaggeration to say that the SPLC hates all things American.

Ensure adequate availability of Spanish-speaking staff for the Office of Student Due Process and Special Education Services Department.

The very existence of the "Office of Student Due Process" is a one-datum summary of the pathology of government education systems.

But they're good schools, really. Let's just vote them more funding to take surveys about new sports programs and give thugs bilingual lawyers to appeal their suspensions.

1. Feds should have nothing to do with this.
2. Agree that you can’t handle all possible languages that all possible parents speak.
3. The idea that kids should be instructed in something other than English is completely counterproductive.

Having said all THAT - I *can* see the utility of communicating with parents in Spanish if feasible and possible. The kids will learn English in mere months if provided the opportunity. The parents not so much. And if practical and possible, by all means send some notices home in Spanish - we get assembly instructions etc. in Spanish.

BUT - keep the Feds out of this.

Chances are this is the camel’s nose in the tent due to all the OTHER issues going on in Wake County - which I think we all know what those are.

The purpose of this harassment is to curry favor with the damp Americans by making it more difficult for school authorities to curb Latino gang thug behavior in the Wake County schools. First various interested parties both Rat and GOP encourage illegal immigration to provide new members of the dependent class who will be reliable rat voters and undocumented workers so that they can be used to depress real wages of native American working persons. Then the rat party surrogates such as the SPLC create fake and spurious complaints about the schools actually demanding the damp thugs adhere to the same low standards everyone else does. The goal of this is to convince the damp Americans the rats are their friends and that the damp thugs are special people who don't have to obey whitey's rules. Here you have the iron triangle at work, a ‘minority’ demanding special privileges, a ‘non profit’ concocting a bogus ‘civil rights’ case to support their desires and a receptive fed bureaucracy using tax payer dollars to help make the lives of the off spring of some of those tax payers hell on earth if they are white and in the Wake County school system. Here is the classic quote:

Olabisi L. Okubadejo, a team leader for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, says they’ll probe whether Wake is “failing to ensure” that Hispanic families “have meaningful access to information.”

Does anyone thing Mr. Okaguboo was born in the US or is even a naturalized citizen. How much as a fed ‘Dept. of Education’ educrat thug do you think he is paid in tax payer dollars to engage in making Hispanic thugs a special protected class. That's right Freepers your dollars going to give this parasite a higher income level than most of the US citizens paying taxes and sending their children to the already crappy Wake County schools so he can make the lives of native American taxpayers children even worse . This is life in Obamanation.

They certainly have their priorities straight since so many kids can’t even read when they “graduate” not to mention lack of math skills.

Send the parents information on where they may take English classes. If they do not take them, they do not care about the education of their children. How can they possibly help them with homework or even understand report cards if they do not speak the language.

I graduated from the Wake County Public School system in 1998. It was headed downhill fast even then. I can’t imagine how much “fun” it is now.

I live in Wake County NC. I can only agree that notices should be sent home in Spanish to homes that have presented proof of legal entry into the USA (i.e. green card).

Judging from the bunch who were able to buy the house next door to me and had a family living in every room (now forclosed, thank God) they are too busy drinking beer, pissing in the back yards, blasting mariachi music from their SUVs and raising chickens to read anything anyway. I don’t think those folks would have been able to read anything in Spanish any more than if it was English.
