Non-soldiers love deciding what the troops fight for.
Teacher tells class ‘speak American,’ says troops aren’t fighting for ‘right to speak Spanish’
Teacher tells class ‘speak American,’ says troops aren’t fighting for ‘right to speak Spanish’
A 25-second video clip recorded inside a classroom at New Jersey's Cliffside Park High School has struck up a controversy on social media, according to WPIX.
“…men and women are fighting. They are not fighting for your right to speak Spanish. They are fighting for your right to speak American,” a teacher can be heard saying to her class.
Students in Cliffside Park, a diverse community with a large number of Spanish-speaking students, immediately reacted to the comment. At least one even walked out.
"You're being racist," that student can be heard saying on the video. "I know how to speak English."
