‘I know what the trend is, and it’s not looking good,’ educator says
Spanish-speaking students are flooding into an Illinois school district so fast that teachers who educate in English only are being involuntarily transferred, and they believe there will come a time when they no longer will have a job.“I know what the trend is, and it’s not looking good,” Valerie Goranson told the Chicago Tribune. “Even if my job was saved this year, what about next year?”
She has twice lost a teaching assignment in the Waukegan district because she doesn’t speak Spanish, she said. Last year, after teaching 5th grade at North Elementary for six years, district officials moved her to Clark Elementary to make room for a Spanish-speaking teacher at North.
Now she says it’s happening again.
What the hell?? This ‘Press 1 for English’ thing really isn’t a joke folks, we are being over-run, this is a part of the AMNESTY bill we didn’t get killed, apparently it’s the responsibility of the USA to educate ILLEGAL Spanish speakers now…
Here’s an idea, go to Mexico and demand that they teach YOUR kids in English in THEIR schools, it’s NOT going to happen, and there is NO reason it should be happening here, the only Spanish that needs to be used in U.S. schools is what it takes to teach THEM how to speak English and to teach English speakers Spanish if they wish to learn it…
Waukegan reports a 25 percent hike in its Spanish-speaking student population since 2000, and other suburbs are following closely behind.
“Other communities will face this problem,” said Linda Asma, who teaches 5th grade at Oakdale Elementary in Waukegan, but expects one monolingual teacher at her school to be reassigned soon.
“I’d give it less than 10 years,” she said.
This CAN be stopped, but it will NEVER be stopped as long as we have presidents like George W. Bush, when you have a globalist, One World Government supporter in the White House, someone that loves the WORLD more than he loves his own country, this is the inevitable outcome…
Americans can’t allow Spanish, or any other language to be forced upon them, the USA is an English speaking nation and by God it’s going to be a fight to make it happen otherwise, the voters in the effected states need to get fired up and work their state legislators over, make them pass a STATE law, ENGLISH ONLY, and then we ALL take the battle to Congress, ENGLISH ONLY or you’re looking for a job…
The North Elementary principal, Angel Figueroa, said Spanish instruction helps students learn better and faster.
Then tote your ass back to Mexico or wherever and teach em how to speak English AND Spanish, then they can learn ALL they need to know, but here in the USA it is ENGLISH for me, and here’s the funny part, I speak Spanish, but I’ll be DAMNED if I will ever speak it as a matter of convenience in THIS nation, if I go to Mexico or other Spanish speaking nations I feel obligated to speak the native language, well, by God, they can speak OUR language if they come here…
But teachers suggest learning those subjects while they also are learning English is best.
“We have kids from China, Belize, Serbia, everywhere, and they catch on and end up doing well,” said Linette Oliver, a teacher at Clark. She said she has been reassigned to teaching 2nd grade because her 1st grade class is becoming bilingual. “I don’t understand why we can’t do that for any child, no matter where they are from.”
And that, Ladies and Gents, says it ALL!

Thanks to Renee at American Truckers at War for sending me this story from WND…
I had to enroll my daughter in a new school the other day, and it is in a different state, Ohio to be exact. We sat down with a school counselor and made up the schedule of classes she’ll be taking…
Well at first I was glad, as she was, that she didn’t have to take Spanish because as the counselor stated it’s no longer something colleges are looking for from would be applicants. So it’s no longer being pushed, at least in this particular school district.
But I realized that if she don’t have to take Spanish or any of the other foreign languages offered then a non English speaking student don’t have to take English? It would be a double standard otherwise and you can bet a wet back would argue that for all it’s worth.
It’s these damn colleges, and the push for the moonbat dream of multiculturalism that are dictating what high schools teach.
And that’s a damn shame.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
Well, it seems if we don’t stand up against this crap, we will not be standing much longer.
I suppose Eby’s safe, at least for now being that she teaches in this school district.
As an educator herself she says what businesses are looking more and more for is the ability to speak Chinese, it’s something that’s talked about in all the educational meetings she attended last year. Maybe we’ll start seeing that one day as a foreign language course common in most schools.
I think those red bastards are trying to poison the world.
In the state of KY alone, 5 mins away, there are over 243 known foreign languages spoken by students as per the KY Dept of Education 2004. Top 3: 1. Spanish 2. French 3. Mandarin Chinese.
This crap is all screwed up.
I don’t speak Spanish..I can read some and generally figure out what is happening. But the point you make is a great one..what we need is an amendment to our constitution..or at least a law..requiring that public schools be taught in English. All voting ballots must be in English. And all business documents and government business be conducted in English. I may just start boycotting any business that wants me to punch one for English.
If they’re going to make us all speak Spanish then I see an opportunity here.
Develope a program, the best ever for teaching people Spanish, a crash course.
My friend who wrote a book that helps English speaking construction workers deal with Spanish speaking construction workers and vice versa. Sells around 50 books aday.
If you have to do something, you might as well make money doing it.
