There we have it, Cape Verde HS. None of these explanations make any sense. With video equipment available, surely that speech could have been seen over TVs in school, at the time, via cable. If it were given in English, wouldn't the speech have been translated into Portughese for the students who don't speak English?
And the ACLU? Why, if it were immigrant students who could go to or understand the speech, can you just imaging the outrage. Keep in mind that many Portughese speak excellent English. I thing the prime minister not speaking English or having it translated immediately was setting an awful example. Grrrrr........

School officials said Tripp and the student were offered tickets, but they declined. The ACLU says that does not appear to be the case. "I was satisfied with the school's explanation," Wunsch said.
In other words: the ACLU believes the school is lying and making up excuses, but that's OK since only white students missed out on the speech.
