In a rare show of wisdom several years ago, California voters passed Proposition 227 to abolish most forms of bilingual education. The premise was simple: When English is not spoken in the home, youngsters are at a decided disadvantage, and must, therefore, receive intensive English instruction elsewhere.

Coddling non-English speaking youngsters with bilingual instruction at school was correctly seen as counterproductive.

Unfortunately, some Hispanic educators refuse to abide by the law and continue to teach in Spanish. One such so-called educator was recently recognized as “Teacher of the Year” by a San Diego school district. Pancho, which is not his real name, proclaimed it his duty to instruct Hispanics in their native tongue, and hailed this defiance of state law as a major macho accomplishment.

Were it not for the fact that California’s educational system is so infested with liberals, Pancho would have been fired and his teaching credentials permanently revoked.

By refusing to expose his students to the language needed to succeed in America, Pancho should be arrested and charged with child endangerment/abuse.

As an educator, Pancho should know that California now requires students to pass a test in order to graduate from high School. One of the test subjects: English proficiency.

Do you get that, Pancho? English, not Spanish, is a requirement for high school graduation in California. The state does not test for Spanish proficiency because English is the predominate language in California and throughout America.

Pancho probably considers those who want English to be the official American language to be "racist." However, I am sure he does not see himself as being racist for preferring Spanish to English.

In fact, Pancho most likely believes that his defiance of state law is perfectly justified because bilingual education means diversity—and everyone knows diversity is enriching and good.

California parents, please remember this: English proficiency is required to graduate high school. Spanish proficiency is required to pick fruit and operate leaf blowers. Which future do you want for your child?

Thank you for fixing that link!

A friend of mine used to live in Chula Vista. She had a friend there, who
is a legal Polish immigrant. Her son was in high school in Chula Vista
and was told by the gym teacher (who had a Spanish surname) that the Polish boy couldn't play on the school's baseball team--"not on my Mexican baseball team".

The last time I looked Chula Vista is in California, which is still in the United States of America. I suspect this teacher, paid for by the taxes of legals in California, is a second generation Mexican--ANOTHER second generation Mexican with a chippy on his shoulder--discriminating against non Mexicans.
Oh well, at least he discriminated in English. Let us not call this "teacher" a racist or a Mexican nativist. That may too truthful.

From the San Diego Union-Tribune website:

TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Social activist is big on possibilities

Public schools send him to head of class

"I am public education!" he wrote in a response to his nomination for county honors.

At 34, Gómez already has a track record as an unreconstructed activist.

He's active in a teachers union that's been labeled a special interest by the governor. He often teaches in Spanish though California voters have mostly prohibited the practice. He emphasizes experience and critical thinking in an era in which standardized test scores are paramount.

Gómez said he intends to use his teacher-of-the-year platform to talk about how students need experiences more than facts, exposure to possibilities more than high test scores.

In fact, Pancho most likely believes that his defiance of state law is perfectly justified because bilingual education means diversity—and everyone knows diversity is enriching and good.

How come nobody wants to bring diversity to Air Traffic Control? It must be racist? /sarc off

Setting his sites for the California State Assembly. Appears to be another Fabian Nunez and the rest of those LaRaza and MeCHA politicians.

Nothing like trying to lower that bar for graduation. English is the language they need to know to graduate. Why they keep this teacher is beyond me.

Were it not for the fact that California’s educational system is so infested with liberals, Pancho would have been fired and his teaching credentials permanently revoked.

Then its time to 'out do' these stinking puke face traitor liberals because Pancho needs to be fired.

Only in California, throw out the rule books break the law and become teacher of the year.
