YES! Judge rules English-only is not hostile
Wow, first a schoo district in Texas says teachers can carry guns to protect students now a judge dismisses an open-borders lawsuit. Welcome back common sense! Please, stay awhile.
A federal judge ruled Friday that a Wichita Catholic school policy requiring students to speak only English didn’t break any civil rights laws.
But U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten criticized both sides in the lawsuit for the way they handled the conflict and characterized St. Anne Catholic School’s implementation of its English-only policy as “one-sided.”

This definitely was a “self interest” lawsuit. The school made every effort to resolve this situation by meeting with all parent’s. The need for the “English only” policy was established due to the misconduct of a handful of children, using their 2nd language in a derogative manner and their bullying of other children. It was other Spanish speaking children that interpreted what was being said and hollered at other children. There are other children in this school that speak other foreign language, so this ruling applied to all those attending St. Anne Catholic School. It is truly a shame that these parent’s overlooked the need to discipline their child and instead for self gain, chose to take it to this level. These children have been embarrassed and will take this “bad” situation with them into adulthood. Talk about scarring a child’s self esteem. The parent’s missed the boat. Shame on them. This was not at all a situation about discrimination. Someone led these people on the wrong path and it isn’t too difficult to figure out who it was. Adios!
