A sign banning students from speaking Spanish on a Juniata County School District bus has sparked controversy in the community and prompted statements from the transportation company and district this week.
No, it's a very good point. By allowing immigrants who come to this country to continue speaking their native tongue (and supporting it by printing government documents in that language), we are defacto allowing them to not assimilate. If forced to adopt our language, money, customs, and education, they will become Americans. If we allow them to continue to be whatever-Americans, they will never be actual American's, just foreigners who happen to live here. I remember it well when the Rican's were flying PR's flag over the US... You're an American, not an African-American, not a Puerto-rican-American, not Italian-American, not Irish-American, not German-American... You're a fucking American. Start acting like it, or go back to Ireland, Germany, Puerto-Rico, or whatever shithole you crawled out of! You don't like it here, don't like how we do things? THEN FUCKING LEAVE!!!!
Heh.
