GOOD for the teacher !! and the school English is the language of the USA
NOT SPANISH. Chinese ,Korean, and what not
We should stop coddling all of the minorities an go back to printing ALL government info/ forms in English. We could save Millions $$$$ every month !!!

I agree with the teacher. She must be one of many who is fed up with the entitlement attitude of some people. This is the USA – our common thread is our language. Learn it OR go back to wherever you came from.

Wow. Such ignorance in these comments. While the student shouldn’t have been “demanding” anything, especially in a language the teacher cannot understand, it doesn’t excuse the teachers comments. Yes, this is the USA, the country that is the melting pot of the world, open to ideas and opportunities, we as a whole, take pride in our language and our sometimes weird ideas, but everyone has a member in their family that emigrated into this great nation.

I graduated in the top percent of my class, yet I refused to walk the stage because I saw first hand how teachers overly simplified lessons for kids whose only language was English, so if we are going to sit here and talk about “our language” we should take a look at the vocabulary and comprehension of our English-only speaking students, maybe they should “learn it” too, because frankly at least in my school it was a pathetic sight to behold.

How about transferring each illegal alien back to Mexico with one of their brats under each arm? Seems simple…and they’ll have all the forms they want in spanish.

People are sick to death of these leeches stealing from us…and then demanding we teach them in their own language. Sorry, they add nothing to the schools except crime, more costs and time wasted dealing with their idiot kids.

They usually have “noname”!

There is no requirement for English to be translated into Spanish or any other language. They should hire their own translator or ask a neighbor to get help just like we Americans do. This teacher did nothing wrong.

It didnt say anything about the child being illegal. What give any person the right to say that to a child. If the shoe was on the other foot nobody would want someone to say something stupid to their child. What the hell gives you the right to throw the first stone, everybody has skeletons in their closet and I would bet that some of you have hired a mexican at one time or another. All of you are complaining about speaking spanish, well to tell you the truth if you hate mexicans that bad why do you like our food and try to speak our language, Texas was mexico until the white people came and stole it. I bet that some of you have dated a mexican at one time. Also Texas is not Texas it is Tejas. Mexican and hispanic people are very hard workers, they will do anything in work to take care of their family. I bet if you traced your family history that their is at least one mexican in your background. Its not my fault that you cant speak or understand spanish (learn it cause it will keep you from feeling stupid)

I think that teacher should be offered a management position in the Arlington school district.
English is the language of this country even if the elected representatives of US Government lack the fortitude to make it official.
That child had no business being in her class without the ability to read and write in “our language”.

This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA People! A melting pot of cultures from around the world! We all have ancestors that migrated here from another country! Shame on you who have posted such negative comments. I can’t believe some of the comments made here siding with the teacher. The teacher no doubt made a mistake, Maybe she was flustered, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, no doubt being a teacher is probably the hardest job in the world next to being a parent but she definitely made a mistake and should apologize to the child/parents/school and let that be the end of it.

You want to know why you never see a mexican begging on the streets… its because they are in every government office asking for free hand outs. I think if they sign up for food stamps w/o a s.s number we should call the police. I dont make alot but i also dont live off the tax payers.

That two time teacher of the year has my vote for this year too.

Good for her!!! And if they transfer her I hope she sues the district. If more people would stand up to the rash of illegals coming across the borders, then maybe we would not have to waste so much taxpayer dollars putting all our forms in another language other than our own. Where is the ACLU in this whole forms issue anyway? Why is it okay to only do it for the mexicans but not the asiians and every other language? Guess you have to be hispanic to get assistance from them and the heck with the rest. But I digress. She is right. If the kid wants it translated in spanish, he can go back to mexico and get it translated. Try and get anything even remotely close to this in Mexico if you are an American. Stop coddling them and maybe it will slow down the amount coming over the border since they will not have everything handed to them and they will have to learn our language rather than us providing them info in theirs. Obviously our government is impotent to stop it so maybe people like her can. She gets my vote for teacher of the year again.

Go read the article about this on the huffington post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/17/texas-teacher-suspended-offensive-comment_n_1284503.html). The kid was repeatedly yelling “I am a Mexican” so she was right in telling him to go home becuase he was obviously in the wrong country. He was demanding to be coddled to because of his race/ethnicity so isn’t that racist as well? Oh that is right, we have groups here that try to limit what benefits illegals can get while the mexican government denies those same items to illegals in Mexico but because it is Americans that demand the limits it is racist. How does that make any sense?

Good for the teacher-
Send this kid and the rest of them and their filth back to Mexico!

What the hell is an illegal ‘greaser’?
