Second Languages Suck Says U.S. Schools

What in the world is wrong with this country?

Did you know that a student can be suspended for speaking another language? I definitely did not. Zack Rubio, a junior at a small public high school in Kanas City. Endeavor Alternative School suspended Rubio after a teacher overheard he and a friend speaking the evil, satanic language known as SPANISH (dum, dum, dummmmmm) . An article in the MSNBC website says that the school has to kick him out for speaking his father's native language because U.S. law states that speaking a second language isn't allowed.

Some schools don't allow any foreign languages at all!

When will the government-and America in general for that matter-realize that censoring, ignoring, and disrespecting the minorities in this country is wrong. In fact, doing so is also pointless. Whether the united racists of America are willing to accept it or not, the U.S.A. is a gigantic melting pot. This country is basically a big bag of Chex Mix filled with all kinds of people, cultures, and beliefs. In other words...

Let it go!

It's great to be back.
