J. the son, C. the elder daughter, and Ja. the younger daughter. All 3 kids have had to overcome quite a bit - J. has been on ADHD meds since pre-K (he's now junior high); C. is learning disabled, bi-polar, with neuro thrown in, now in middle school; Ja. WAS OK 'til her sperm donor decided she was a sex toy - as a result, her language development is about the level of a 3-4 year old - she's 7.
School opened in August, as it usually does here, and Ja. toddled off to second grade - only, she's the ONLY Anglo in her class, and the teacher is teaching IN SPANISH. Poor little Ja. would come home, be asked by her Mom if she's making friends, having fun - Ja. would tearfully tell her, "Mom, I can't understand them when they're talking, and I can't understand the teacher." Her mother immediately went to the school and demanded Ja.'s transfer to another class; this was refused. For the entire first week, Mom went to school with her demands - finally, that Friday, arrangements were made to transfer Ja.
THIS is a major example of the rubber meeting the road on illegal immigration - OUR children are being sacrificed in the name of the almighty gods called 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity'.

It's happening everywhere. My daughter went through 3RD- 7Th grade in N.M., where she HAD to learn Spanish. My son's could not graduate high school there unless they had taken the required Spanish they needed to get their diploma's.
It's a crock!
Bloody hell, and good old McCain is only 'getting it' now. Doesn't say much for the others who just don't 'get it' either.
I'm sorry, Miss Mair, but my eye is twitching right now.
How in the name of all that is Holy does a (for all intents and purposes) disabled American child get overlooked for a bunch of kids who can't speak the language?
Shouldn't "English as a Second Language" (known to the civilized world as ESL) be taught in a separate #!$@% classroom?
You'll pardon me while I leave my computer to do some much needed Primal Screaming.
