A lawsuit filed by three Hispanic families against the Catholic Diocese of Wichita challenging a policy that requires students to speak only English while at school goes to trial in federal court today.

They are calling this race discrimination to require the students to speak English only in their school. This is ridiculous. Schools have to operate under some kind of rules. If the rules include communicating in a  manner that enables all to understand you.. I think they should be able to set that rule. So, what now. All the kids need to learn Spanish to communicate with them... Here's an idea, there is this country named Mexico and in Mexico they only speak Spanish at their schools. Why not go there?

Amen, Searching. My German and French ancestors had to learn the English language after they passed through Ellis Island (legally). I have no problem with anyone speaking their native language at home, but if you're in school, then speak English there throughout the day. It's good practice anyway.

Jimmeny Cricket, these are private schools!!!
I have an idea, don't accept them next year.
If they can't speak English, how did they fill out the application?
Boy, how we have become an ankle grabbing society. Make ONE person comply with the majority and everyone starts grabbing their ankles. NOT ME.

I think they were using the Spanish to communicate things to each other they didnt want the teachers and such to understand.
