Oh, 'hundreds' makes perfect sense in a graduating class of 30 kids. So, assuming that each kid has a maximum of two parents, why would anyone speak in 'hundreds' of different languages to the parents?The absurd argument works so well, especially in this case where the graduating class was all of 30 and most of their parents spoke only Spanish.
Some just have to scrape for anything about which to be outraged. Willful victims do, too. Pathetic.
So you're telling me the only kids in this graduating class were kids from English speaking parents and Spanish speaking parents? No kids whose parents spoke German, or Thai, or Swahili, or Japanese, or Russian, or any of hundreds of languages throughout this country and the world?
Read the OP's link. Almost half of the parents spoke only Spanish.
Sheesh, is everyone at USMB this lazy?
Apparently you missed the point. What of the parents who are not Spanish speaking? What of those that speak Thai? Russian? or ANY <notice I said "any" not all> of the hundreds of other languages throughout this country and the world? Why just Spanish?
Why isn't it discrimination to kowtow to the Spanish but not the people who speak other languages?
I have a friend who is from Hong Kong. His mother doesn't speak any language but Chinese. Why did the principal when he graduated, speak Chinese for her?
