Taken from *everyone*

Spanish-speaking. School. Suspension. This, too, sucks.

I have got to get the fuck out of this entire universe. Quick, can somebody school me in the sort of physics required to move from one universe to another (and back again if, say, I don't like the food)?

At one time in Canada first nations kids could be beaten for speaking their native language at school -- fifty years ago.

When I was in high school I frequently spoke French to my francophone classmates. I figured that since I was learning the language, I may as well speak it. Granted, we're a bilingual country. I think that the U.S. should become a bilingual country too, but I guess that's not likely to happen, given the "backlash" the article speaks about.

Yeah, we had that same crap with the same kids, well, not the same, but the same.

Yeah, I was thinking about how kids in Wales would be punished for speaking Welsh -- also about fifty years ago.

I thought that sort of thing was a thing of the past.

Furrfu.

America doesn't even have an official language...

...which makes this even more ridiculous. {eyebrow twitces}
