“Home-schooling allows us to give our kids a strong education, in a safer and healthier environment, to interact with peers in a better environment, to receive much of their instruction en español to help build their writing as well as conversation skills (employers expect it, besides the heritage reasons), in general to get a much better education.”

I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.

No, Infitada means rebellion. So right off the bat you’ve established yourself as a liar.

Face the facts. Ms. Almontaser made an incredibly stupid decision by allowing those T-shirts to be sold. And she paid for it with her job.

You know, I find it fascinating how much the Anglo racists– who hate Latinos, Arabs, Blacks and just about everyone else who’s not them– obsess about us People of Color “daring” to pass on our cultures, languages and heritage to our children. It’s like the Anglos wanna make compliant, complacent little coconut Anglo wanna-bes out of us, disconnected from our heritage and slavishly following their marching orders.

I’ve been putting a lot of emphasis on this in the Latino community and advocating for more home-schooling, since Latino children in particular have the misfortune of being stuck in the overcrowded, broken-down, squalid, violent, incredibly unhealthy and entirely uneducational US public schools (the ones that teach in English alone at least). Latino kids are routinely exposed to drugs and crime, denied anything resembling an education, suffering discrimination, indoctrinated with the propagandistic teaching of history that denies the role of Latinos in this nation and gives a slanted picture of the Mexican War, the bracero program, the Farm Workers’ movement and other events fundamental to our history.

The double immersion schools and universities that conduct much of their instruction in Spanish are of much better quality. (These are very common esp in the SW and around Dade County, Miami and so forth– following the Mexican War, español was given full recognition in SW states, in Florida for different reasons, for all official uses including public departments and schools and universities.)

However, they’re still growing slowly in number and in the meantime, Latinos are generally stuck in the awful default English public schools, which are badly underfunded partly because Anglos hate paying taxes to educate children of color.

That’s why home-schooling is such an excellent option, in SW states and Florida but especially outside of here, where Latinos too often have too small a demographic proportion of the population, without enough social and political power to stand up for themselves. Home-schooling allows us to give our kids a strong education, in a safer and healthier environment, to interact with peers in a better environment, to receive much of their instruction en español to help build their writing as well as conversation skills (employers expect it, besides the heritage reasons), in general to get a much better education.

But back to your topic, I hope that your call to action works. It sounds like a noble cause. Forcing someone to resign based on the meaning of a word is pathetically disgusting on every level.
