Interesting how people feel threatened by what they don’t understand, even simple things like language.

American Family Association - AgapePress news: “Junior Zach Rubio was suspended for one and a half days from Endeavor Alternative School in Kansas City for speaking Spanish, his father’s native language. According to one Washington Post report, the teen says another boy asked him a question in Spanish in the school hallway during a bathroom break, and it only felt natural to Rubio to reply in the same language, which he did.”

First the whole ID debacle, and now sending kids to the office for speaking spanish. Kansas has to be the most retarded state ever.

I particularly love this part:

Boulet feels the school was in a no-win situation, where if it does not stop someone from doing something bad it gets sued and if it tries to stop someone from doing something bad, it gets sued. Now, he says, as a result “we have a situation here where the [Rubio] family is all ready to file a lawsuit because the father is a new American citizen, and evidently he learned in citizenship class that whenever you’re unhappy with someone, file a lawsuit.”

WOW!!!, can you believe this! Speaking spanish is BAD!. There you have it all Spanish speaking American citizens do bad things when you speak Spanish. Wow, just wow, the ignorance, closed-mindness and intolerance in this country are sometimes unbelievable.
