The purpose of the trip was to help the non-English speaking children learn English.

As I support immigrant children (children of genuine lawful immigrants, I mean) learning the native language of their new society as quickly as possible, I find it hard to be outraged by measures being taken to do that.

Baloney. You don’t segregate English speakers from the trip, the most likely of all to help these kids learn English.

Gee, if all the children are non-English speaking are they going to speak English?

Maybe if the English speaking children were on the trip, English would be spoken.

Having a hard time seeing the logic in excluding English speaking children when the goal is to learn English.
