So now language is race, religion is race, lack of experience is race...
I guess this is the sort of thing that happens when Catholic political leaders are merely nominal: predators of Catholic institutions must feel quite unalarmed by any repercussions.
Somebody call up the ACRU.
(Yes, I know not the ACLU. ACRU is on our side)
This dimwit writer for KXLY doesn’t even know KS is for Kansas - what the hell is KN???????????? Oy.
1) It isn’t discrimination if the student already speaks English as either a first or second language.
2) It isn’t racism as language and race are not linked.
“The school says the policy was a response to problems in school environment, saying that if a student uses a language other than English to speak ill of others that it’s not fair.”
Not that I side with the plaintiffs in this case, but this defense, the “people might be talking about other students behind their backs” defense is really very stupid. How about just English is the language of life and commerce in this country. In order for the students to be successful in their lives they must speak English and we will only speak English in this school so that they have lots of practice toward total proficiency.
In this day and age you do not know what folks are talking about if they don't speak English and that can be trouble in certain circumstances.
Catholic school is a private operation and they can set their rules. No one has to go to one. No one is forced to pay tuition. Don't like the rules? There's the door. First amendment rules don't apply -- ask anyone that tries to run a "free" newspaper.
OR the courts could rule against the Catholic school, admitting that in some way it is a public accommodation. If that's the case, every other parent in the school should sue for voucher money so that their child can afford to attend a public accommodation.
Catholic school is not a public school. They had to know the policy before the applied.
They should at least offer LSL classes. (Latin as a Second Language).
Private schools are ALLOWED to do such things. This is a lawsuit to nowhere.
I am willing to bet the farm that those three families are **plants** from the NEA and the atheisitic Secular Humanist DemonRATS!
Witchta, Catholic schools are **FREE**. Every Catholic child in the these schools can attend FREE! The members pull this off through tithing.
I bet these families are merely in the school as operatives of the NEA and Democrats in an effort to bankrupt this **marvelous** free program for Catholic youth.
If this idea of FREE schools for Christian youth were to catch on throughout the country...Well!...We **know** what would happen to government teaching jobs and votes for the Democratic Party.
My grandmother wouldn't speak her native language in front of Americans for that reason, that they would know that she was not mean mouthing them.
At one time immigrants had integrity. Not so much anymore.

In 1959 there were 3 Hispanics in my school, Junior, my best friend, and his sisters Gracy and Cookie. Their dad was an engineer at RCA.
2008 in the same neighborhood I have a 5 year old that starts school this September. There are 22 white kids and 425 Mexicans. The school has an API score of 779 and an API year over year growth of -4.
I think it is time to give California more money for schools for protecting us from peasant immigrants.

So let the little bastards back in, ignore them when they speak other than English, only speak English to them, fail their asses when they can’t perform and put their money in the bank.
