As if it isn’t enough we have to battle BOTH parties to keep tens of millions of illegal invaders from being handed amnesty, we also have to fight just to maintain our common language. And as with the La Raza Studies battle in Tucson, Arizona is once again the battlefield.

An Arizona college is being sued for labeling a student a “bigot” and punishing her with a long-term suspension after she requested that English be used in her nursing studies class so she could learn the subject.

The action was filed against Pima Community College on behalf of student Terri Bennett, who alleged that school officials created a “learning environment [that] was hostile to her as an English-language speaker.”

The case will proceed to trial in March.

of course ‘Hispanics’ are there in droves. You apparently don’t understand my point to you. I won’t bother to translate since English is not your mother tongue.

What is it with the barbs? No, I DON’T understand your point. What is it? Spit it out.

First I’m told that because I live in MD, I can’t possibly understand the Hispanic issue. Now it’s “of course” there are lots of Hispanics here... so I can’t understand.

See #99. I’d appreciate a straightforward answer.

So what are the patients suppose to do, hire translators to translate what the nurse says, when the ones who can only speak Spanish work mainly at English speaking Hospitals?Should I take it these are dreamers be given - access to patients personal information ?? Translation falls on the hospital.

Sie koennen zum Hoelle gehen.

Meinst du das, oder sagst du das nur?

BTW, students should learn other languages for the same reason they learn math. Trains the mind, and besides, teaches one more about one's mother tongue. English for example is a kind of Germanic/Nordic sort of French-Latin hybrid.

Example: Fifty years ago, one rarely hear even the dumbest HS Grad confusing "drank" and "drunk" or "ran," and "run." Now many get the past participles wrong, and jes between you and I, objects and subjects.

Oh yeah, Math? Fuggedaboutit.

You are so correct.

When traveling in East Africa, heart patients should know the following phrase in Swahili.

"Chest" = matitty

"Pain," = Inaringa

"I have Chest Pain" =Matitty inaringa.

Practice, practice.

“If a nurse does not understand English then she can not understand what the majority of this country would be telling her as patients.”

Right. And that’s what makes it total madness. Literally putting political correctness above the welfare of the patient. Would that not be dereliction of duty?

Except of course in this case quite often this is done to accommodate those who are here illegally and/or are too lazy to learn our language. Personally I can think of dozens of better uses of time, with dozens alone falling under the rubric of studying ones profession and getting better at it.

Actually the hospitals by law need legal translators to not get sued in anything anybody signs.
