Principal Who Told Students Not to Speak Spanish Loses Job
If he'd told them not to speak Spanish during class, I'd back him up, but what they do on their own time, during lunch and between classes is their business.
Everyone sounds like an idiot in languages other than their primary. Denying them the ability to express themselves eloquently and with precision is unfair to say nothing of illegal.

Schools can tell kids that they can't wear gang colors and symbols "during lunch and between classes," they can search their lockers, they can restrict what would be 'rights' enjoyed by adults in most other circumstances.

They have no right to tell them what language they can speak when talking to each other outside of class.

Firing the principal was tactically sound.
They should be speaking English in class so they can become fluent and because it is the language of instruction. Outside of class, they should be allowed to speak any language they want to speak. I don't know if it is a civil rights violation, but it is pretty stupid. She should have consulted with her school board, with the district school officials, etc., before making such a decision. Very foolish.
First, students should be allowed to speak in any language they like, expect when participating in class.
If the teacher can not speak and instruct in the lanuage [sic] the students understand, the teacher is not qualified to be teaching those particular students. Period. .

Period. 1st Amendment trumps every other law or opinion or concept. Free Speech means free speech. Kid is American citizen. Kid doesn't speak english. Kid only speaks native langauge or LANGUGE OF HIS FAMILIES CHOICE. Kid and family still has right to free speech and equal treatment under the law.
