Tell them not to speak English and you will get a promotion.
Nothing unites us. we’ve been completely balkanized by language, culture, ethnicity and religion. The left, with the witless assistance of the naive right have pushed their love for ‘diversity’ upon us to the point where we should be seperate nations.
balkanizers versus assimilators.
When you don’t speak a country’s primary language at a public school (which English is in the United States),
you give the citizens living there the finger and basically tell them you don’t wnat to learn how to assimilate and respect the culture of the country they are living in.
Speak it in the home and pass it along to your kids. Heck give lessons to those in the neighborhood who want to learn it. But at school speak the primary language of the country in which you live.
Silly question. Diversity unites us. Only by focusing on our differences can we be united.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Horse hockey. Their "culture" is bankrupt. Their "ethnicity" is not language. Either assimilate into being an "American" or GTFO.
How about they speak a the english and mommy and daddy produce el green card as well or we kick their arses out of the country? My brother a few years ago got kicked out of Austria because he overstayed his visa by a few months. And he went there LEGALLY. Meanwhile we got MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of foreign invaders sneaking into this country, making demands, stealing taxpayer money, staying here for YEARS all so the TREASON party can get votes and the RINO party does nothing but hide under their desk.
I wonder if the same line of reasoning would apply to those kids who were banned from wearing apparel with American flags.
Legal immigration which is why the Treason and RINO parties oppose it.
The fact that the national language isn't German or Japanese either.
And the stupidity goes on and on and on. If you can’t speak in English, go home.
Trying to help them assimilate into American society...she then gets fired.
Crazy world we live in.
Like they told the kids in Astoria NY not to speak greek back in the day?
Failure to speak english is a design for failure.
It actually sends a message that English is the language of the United States and you had better learn it. And speaking Spanish outside the classroom instead of practicing English is not the way to do it.
We certainly don’t want students to become proficient in English. It might affect their test scores. If we were ever to “solve” the education problem (much like poverty and globul climate change), liberals would be out of business.
Liberals need dependents (or subjects) to ignorantly keep hands out in servitude of masters. Else they have no need for their masters and would exist and prosper by their own merit.
The quickest way to learn a new language is through immersion.
This principal was trying to help the Hispanic kids learn English. Not to disparage Spanish in any way.
I have known Hispanic immigrant families who did the same thing at home. One young lady told me her dad would ream into them if he heard Spanish being spoken in the home.
Oh hell! Mexicans don’t even speak proper Spanish.
NO, you raving bigot, it tells them that they are living in the USA and not in Mexico, or some point further south. At least that's what it should tell them.
A means to the end of protecting teacher numbers?
I feed bad for some of the kids who know NO English and get no help at home, but there’s no faster way to learn English than immersion. Immersion with an American student mentor might be the best outcome possible.
“When you start banning aspects of ethnicity or cultural identity,” says Augustin Pinedo, director of the League of United Latin American Citizens Region 18, “it sends the message that the child is not wanted: ‘We don’t want your color. We don’t want your kind.’ They then tend to drop out early.”
It actually sends the exact opposite message.
And of course the characterization as banning is not honest.
I’d say Augustin Piñedo has a conflict of interest.
