'racist' note left on a Pennsylvania school bus prohibiting students from speaking Spanish has sparked fierce outrage from community members.
The controversial message reads: 'Out of respect to English only students there will be NO speaking Spanish on this bus!'
Juniata County parents and school district officials learned about the jarring note last week.
Both the school district and the bus company, Rohrer Bus, have profusely denied any involvement in writing the 'racially insensitive' memo, which is allegedly signed by 'owner/management.'
Rohrer Bus addressed the situation in a statement on Saturday, claiming that the particular bus is owned and operated by a 'separate entity' which is responsible for putting up the letter.
'Rohrer Bus has been made aware of a racially insensitive note that was discovered on one of the school buses serving the Juniata County School District,' the statement reads.
'We want to make it explicitly clear that Rohrer Bus did not author or endorse this statement in any way. Such language and sentiments are entirely contrary to our company’s values and commitment to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all students, families, and staff.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to Rohrer Bus, asking for the 'separate entity' to be identified.

Sounds like another false flag op...
Don't think so.
Is speaking English a "race"?
Don't think so.
It is nobody’s business if a person chooses to have a private conversation in a language other than English. That includes children.
It may not be racist but it is rude to insist they speak English in private conversation. In the classroom, yes English should be required. But on the bus with other students, no.
If it had been written in Spanish (aka Pedro) it would have been OK
When I went to Cancun back in the 80’s I had a English/Spanish Translation Book and I used it. After all I was in they’re Country and I expect the same if they are in Our Country.
Now I see there are Translation Ear Buds. I’m hoping that the manufacturer of My Hearing Aids does a Software update. Just for intelligence purposes.
Maybe it was written by a ‘zoomer’.
You should know. right?
one person wrote a note ... go talk to them about it ... leave the rest of us alone ...
They are unable to communicate clearly.
Go vape some more stupid smoke.

did I miss any?
Hoax!
Am I to assume that this was written in English, only? I doubt the kids that only spoke Spanish could read English.
The Spanish speak Spanish very well and respectfully. Hispanics screech it at high decibels.
Are they allowed to speak French? German? Russian? Chinese?
Good ole diversity. I remember back in the 90s when Spanish speakers began arriving in the area I grew up in. I left in 2005, went back for a short visit in 2016. All the business signs were in Spanish, announcements over the speakers in the grocery store were in Spanish and it looked like a third world dump. According a friend, crime was off the charts. I will NEVER go back. I am sick and tired of this invasion.
More *outrage* from the left.
***Yawn....***
I’m not a zoomer. You’re way off. I don’t think everything is about sex, but when it is, it is.
British treachery.
Best thing in the world for the children. Maybe the note wouldn’t have caused a problem if it said speak English so ICE can’t identify you as illegal.
They really don’t want people to assimilate they want them as separate groups to be exploited.
All people who come to America to stay need to learn english to fit in, but when was the last time outrage was shown against Vietnamese or other Asians for not speaking English, other than right after the Vietnam war.
Trust me I used to manage a large number of Hispanics and I was always of the opinion that they needed to learn and use English with the public. Most of the hostility is over all the illegals that have flooded in but a lot too hasn’t changed thirty years since I was managing and it’s that people don’t like it when they don’t know what someone is saying.
My wife’s relatives came from Cuba, their kids who were around 7-8 years old at the time didn’t speak a word of English.
Today, they speak English with no trace of an accent.
