Incredible, how about this, US busses are for those who speak, or are learning the national language.

I can understand having a bus route that specializes in Hispanic students. But to deny access if they speak English? Please tell me this is from another country.

The problem is that particular bus route was meant to serve one of the district's three language academies. Phalen's is for Hmong kids learning English. The academies all have separate bus routes to keep their students together. Seems to me that having a couple of english speaking kids on board would help the Hmong to learn the lingo a little better.
BTW: For those that don't know; the Hmong are from SE Asia and served the US & CIA during the war, and were brought here to the states afterwards. They were settled in MN. (Must have been quite a shock to go from tropical jungle to the land of 10,000 lakes and sub-zero winters.

1. Why does sitting on a bus entail speaking a certain language?
2. What country is this???
3. "Thanks," public (Gov't.) schools.

I didn't bother to read it, but let me take a guess? English speaking children will appear to non-english speaking children to be insensitive?

"The problem is that particular bus route was meant to serve one of the district's three language academies. Phalen's is for Hmong kids learning English. The academies all have separate bus routes to keep their students together."
So, having a couple of kids on the bus who already speak English is a problem for the Hmong children, because??????
