I was debating whether to post this in "news" (for the bilingual education and frivolous lawsuit/ACLU angle) or in "religion" (for the Catholic Church angle).

Go back to Mexico if you don’t like it. Assimilate and graduate.

according to john and ken, am 640 lost angeles,

many children of illegals are not going to high school in l.a.

they dropped out!

creating, of course, a new slave class for the liberal socialists to feel sorry for.

unfortunately, the liberal socialists created the problem.

As a private school, they can make their own rules. Including kicking out bullies for whatever reason. Shame on the families who are obviously not bringing up their children as good Catholics.

It’s a private school, nitwits. When you come in, you know what you are getting. Don’t like it? Go to a public school.

I wonder if these people are paying the full tuition.

According to court documents, the students named in the lawsuit are bilingual U.S. citizens with no disciplinary record.


So if the kids are bi-lingual U.S. citizens, what is the problem with requiring them to speak English? What am I missing here? They know English, they are here in America, what is the problem with requiring them to speak English?

What’s wrong with English?

If you don’t like it - go where the language of the land is Spanish.

Emotional suffering - OMG. Well, insist that your little darlings stick to Espanol and bullying, and see what career opportunities await - drug running, lawn service, dishwashing? SO much more attractive than buckling down and planning to attend college...

I am not Catholic and am ignorant about Catholic schools. Do they accept federal money in any way for their schools?

Many years ago my children attended a Baptist school and we were warned, along with all the other parents, that if we ever accepted government aid because our children were in a private school, (should it become available) that we would be told to remove our children from the school.

In some cases the state and federal aid is given to the student, not the school. The school just administers the aid. Any private school that accepts aid with strings attached is asking for fed meddling.
