Thread: Have lost entire city, schools, colleges, and language

I don't know where most of you are from but we have lost everything in Texas. There scheme has been a very good plan. I couldn't believe it when our school board hired a Hispanic Superintindent after that our schools have been in trouble. Just a week ago, I met a young lady who has been certified for over 2 years as an Elementary school teacher. After our school district announced they were short teahers she went down there to apply for a job but was immediately told they were only hiring billingual teahers. This needs to stop. My child came home Friday and said, "Mom they are making me learn Spanish." All of our parks have been taken over, businesses, and communities. Everyone else is so caught up with struggling financially they can't see what is happning.

Boy....I agree with you. It has to stop. My husband said they have taken over in this war without ever firing a shot. It disgusts me that there ARE qualified teachers and nurses and people in other fields that are LEGAL CITIZENS and are being REFUSED employment because they don't speak SPANISH! This is far more than picking tomatoes here. Yet "their research" shows something totally different. BS

"Mom they are making me learn Spanish."

Perhaps you should seek legal advise. Is it constitutional for the school system to require a person to take Spanish? I see nothing wrong with a student choosing to take Spanish, but I have a big problem with someone being forced, especially considering the fact that this is America. Are you a member of the PTA? If so, maybe you and other citizen moms can get together and fight this. Actually, you could take it one step further and contact every school in the districts PTA (I assume this is a district-wide requirement). Perhaps you should form a group - Mothers Against Mandatory Spanish (M.A.M.S).

My sister and her kids live outside Austin. When visiting there last weekend, I noticed that the hand-drawn Mother's Day card on the refirgerator that my youngest niece had made in school was written in Spanish. I asked why, and my sister told me that the teacher had made the kids in her class do a number of projects in Spanish. My niece is 8 years old.
