Student Booted From U.S. College For Favoring English!


An Arizona college is being sued for labeling a student a “bigot” and punishing her with a long-term suspension after she requested that English be used in her nursing studies class so she could learn the subject.

The action was filed against Pima Community College on behalf of student Terri Bennett, who alleged that school officials created a “learning environment [that] was hostile to her as an English-language speaker.”

The complaint alleges that Bennett repeatedly was thwarted in her work listening to lectures, finishing group studies and participating in skills labs, clinicals and other learning activities by fellow students who spoke Spanish, which she did not understand. Study groups and labs in which she participated, an essential part of her nursing training, were being conducted in Spanish.

Um..last time I checked, we lived in America...supposedly an English speaking country...so now obviously at this college, English is no longer the primary language of our nation? This is outrageous that this girl is called bigot-I hope the college is renamed the Bennett Nursing School after she wins her lawsuit!

Why would they teach it in Spanish shouldn't those Latino learn English? The schools should have laws since Latinos doesn't want to learn. I am saying this because the fact Latinos in class is learning Spanish while they're fluent in it talk about lazy.

Time to revolt, revolt, revolt. Unless, of course, you think things are going to get BETTER. If so, look up the word "entropy".
