This is so damn outrageuous!!! It is another reason why English needs to be deemed the official language of America. Assimilation should be required by immigrants, not the other way around!

IMO the issue here is a school official trying to justify his existence. At least the bus was for students learning English. We dial "1 for English" because some foreingers (mostly Spanish speaking) WON"T learn English.



The simplest solution to the school problem mentioned here is to let said students ride the bus. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! that's too easy!! Especially for a power-hungry, egotisical school official. :{

Someone should inform the school district that they are practicing SEGREGATION and that it is ILLEGAL!!!! The response to the school district should of course be in ENGLISH.

and i thought it was bad enough up here pressing 1 for english [french & english are canada's offical languages]

I have noticed companies put the spanish greeting first, then the english (American) is left wondering who the hell their calling...

 

[BILLVO]

Sounds like another form of segregation.

No... Denver is an "informal" safe haven for illegal aliens. There was an uproar some time back when a police officer was shot and killed by an illegal who fled south of the border. Mexico refused to deport (because of our justice laes and the death penalty potential) unless we took the death penalty off the plea.



Makes one wonder if something were to happen to one of the DNC highbrows during the convention if strickter laws would then be enacted?

well here's my problem with the story in st. paul. and its this way everywhere in this country anymore. I know it is this way here in KC as i work for the North KC school district (as a maintence guy). I am horrified and ticked off that we are paying taxes to have schools teach illegals at all. I am sick of footing the bill for their education and health care, when I can't afford my own health care. I wish people in this country would start kicking the liberals in the N**S and get their attention to what they are doing to this country from the illegal issues, to their pantie waist crybaby views everywhere else.

 

[CFast]

If the DNC (aka JACKASS) party gets it their way, which I hope they don't, they'll legalize all the illegals. How fun... . If I wanted to live in Messico, I'D MOVE THERE!

While I find the whole thing very anoying, please, let's not get political or it will have go to the political forum.
