The problem is these illegals have IQs in the mid 70s and can't learn anything.
20,000 Students Sue State Of California
April 25, 2013
On behalf of 20,000 students, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have filed a law suit against the state of California for failing to correctly teach the English language.
The lawsuit is seeking a court order to ensure that students receive the courses they need to learn English, as many have been given low grades and are frequently being held back due to a language barrier.
ACLU attorney Mark Rosenbaum said:
“These kids are not getting the differentiated learning they’re supposed to be getting.
“English learners are falling behind without proper language lessons, even as school districts collect federal funds specifically for that purpose.
“Under state and federal law, schools are required to teach non-English speakers the language, but by its own records, the state isn’t offering English instruction to nearly 20,000 students.”
Why is the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union fighting on behalf on non-americans???
Wait. I thought of the beefs the right has with illegals, or even legal immigrants, is that they won't learn English.
Now...here we have English being taught to them and you're gonna complain about that too?
The student may just be stupid or lazy. No way to overcome that.
That's not consistent with being able to speak two languages. Many immigrants from south of the border can not only speak 2 languages, they can make correct change in business transactions. They're not stupid. They're unemployed.
It's not the speaking, it's the reading of english that they can't get. They probably can't read spanish either. They're stupid and it's hopeless and you can't blame the schools.
Most mexicans [sic] don't even want to learn english [sic]. They hate everything about america [sic] except the welfare.
the ability to speak, read and write English should be a visa requirement...
Like a true racist the OP confuses speaking spanish with being illegal.

they are illegal. all naturalized legal citizens must speak English.

Hey stupid. You don't understand the issue. It's ok to teach english to students but you can't sue the school if the student is too stupid or lazy to learn. Most mexicans don't even want to learn english. They hate everything about america except the welfare.

Shouldn't their parents be teaching them how to speak English? Why are the taxpayers responsible for spending millions or billions of dollar on this? My grandmother could only speak Italian when she was little and she failed the first grade because she didn't know enough English. Her parents made sure she learned after that happened. The school didn't go out of their way to accommodate her and her neighbors didn't pay for it.
Your kid, your responsibility to make sure they are meeting the academic standards. This is yet one more example of how everybody today thinks everyone else is responsible for them.
That's a good idea! It would make the Parents, themselves victims of Public Education, that much smarter as well!By the same token, why do we have public schools at all? Shouldn't the parents be teaching their kids reading, grammar, calculus, history, geography, civics, driver's education? Why single out just English?
dear idiot I know lots of Americans born here who speak spanish in their homes.

Good question, considering what overly expensive failures the public schools are.

There are plenty out there that do, actually.
Why single out just English?
Because it's the primary language of this country by an overwhelming margin. If you want to live here then learn it. There is no reason why we need to spend excess dollars to teach it to non-native speakers.
