A Texas school district is reviewing its second-language requirement after concerns over students being forced to learn Spanish, according to reports.
Some parents at Timberline Elementary School in Grapevine, Texas, are outraged their children have to take Spanish as a mandatory second-language requirement, MyFOXDFW.com reported.
Leigh Allison, the mother of fifth-grader Ashleigh, said the policy makes life easier for Hispanic immigrants and her daughter shouldn't be forced to conform, according to a report on Star-Telegram.com.
"She wants to be that one voice that forces them to learn English," Leigh Allison told the paper. "We're not going to turn America into a bilingual country to accommodate you."
Texas requires second language instruction for elementary and middle-school students, Star-Telegram reports. Most schools choose Spanish instruction, but other languages are acceptable for the policy."
Isn't it fitting that the loons demand one learn spanish, but NEVER demand that spanish speakers learn English.
Boggles. Truly boggles.
Were I young again and raising a family I'd work 3 jobs if necessary to assure that a child of mine would never cross the threshold of any flaming liberal public school.
