Oh my oh my PC gone nuts.
So now it's a crime to ask if they have a green card. What BS!

A Gallup Junior High School teacher is having personnel action taken against it for making a racially derogatory comment against a Hispanic student. It?

Following the student's answer the teacher then allegedly began asking questions about whether he was a legal citizen. That was silly. Just mark him absent and move on.

This one needs to go all the way to the Supreme Court of the USA if necessary.

Yeah, and I heard on the radio some NPR drivel, (I was channel surfing), detailing the plight of two (illegal) immigrants. One from El Salvador, just to show it's not all Mexicans. Both interviews were in Spanish with translations. These American wannabes didn't speak a word of English.
Come to America. Come legally, learn English, become AMERICAN or get the hell out.

"Action will be taken,"
>>>>>>
I am guessing the wrong action though. Will we ever be told the answer to the question?
Too bad this teacher works in a district only concerned with what is good for the few.

And those who think our government is going to do anything to reverse this situation is kidding themselves.

Don't leave home without it :)

Where was the racial comment? I was expecting to read that the teacher had called the student a wetback, or a beener, greaser, chili eater, bean picker, spic, or some other name. Not the case... the teacher simply inquired as to the immigration status of the student. MSM strikes again.

Huh, that's kinda of hard when the teachers unions are against English immersion because that will cut down on the money that fills their coffers from bi-lingual education.
But of course you blame the students and their families instead of yourself for your knee jerk ethnic animus(i.e such rhetoric as "criminal invaders"etc.) which leads such people to the arms of such leftist groups as the teachers unions, who promote such balkanization because of greed because bi-lingual education brings in much more money to their coffers than English immersion does.

Too bad this teacher works in a district only concerned with what is good for the few.Unfortunately, given today's attitude, especially here in NM where Emperor Bill Richardson has directed state law enforcement not to ask the immigration status of those stopped by them, any mention of immigration status of a student by a teacher is politically incorrect.
Actually, IMO, it should not be the teacher doing the asking, but the school administration when a student is registered. But that won't happen either, except to give illegals special benefits, like in-state tuition at state colleges.

How is asking the legal status of a student "racist"? It is a question that should be asked more, and is asked often everywhere else in the world.

What do you expect from an article that refers (twice!) to HR 4437 as Proposition 4437?

"But of course you blame the students and their families instead of yourself "
Your observations are nonsensical. Your ability to do anything other than annoy is in deep question.
