Principal Amy Lacey of Hempstead Middle School in Hempstead, Texas decided to ban the Hispanic students from being able to speak their native tongue of Spanish while they’re at school. The new policy was announced via the intercom, although nobody seemed to listen. The school’s population is about 50% Hispanic, so the thought of there being NO Spanish spoken at all seems a little ridiculous. The students have apparently been told if they’re caught speaking Spanish, the will be “written up and kicked out of class.”
Crazy! & out of all states, a TEXAS school prohibits Spanish to be spoken where majority of the population is made up of Hispanics? People are absolutely ridiculous.
