“Should Principal be Fired for Requiring English at School?
By Bobby Eberle
March 20, 2014
What does it mean to be the great American melting pot? Does it mean anything anymore? In previous generations, people came from far and wide to this country, and they came not only for a better life but to BE an American, all that seems to be lost as ‘diversity’ rules the day (Has anyone ever actually defined what is meant by diversity in the political, social sense? Has anyone ever given the benefits of diversity? When I was in school, it wasn’t even a concept. When I taught school, it wasn’t even a concept. It is another fraud perpetrated upon the American people by the Left!—my addition). At one school, a principal wanted all students to speak English on campus. The move got her fired.merican. Now
Back in January, the Houston Chronicle reported that Hempstead Middle School Principal Amy Lacy was put on paid leave by the school trustees. Why? Because she announced on the PA system that all students would need to speak English while in class. The school district is 54% Hispanic (The real question here is did she have the authority to do this WITHOUT the approval of the governing board? This may very well be an issue under the jurisdiction of the Board! That would change the equation! If I was on the Board and she did this without authority, I would react too! It may be more about how she did it than what she did! She is NOT the Board!—my addition).
Now the trustees have voted again, and this week they decided that Lacy’s contract would not be renewed. In other words, she’s been fired (No! There is a difference. The result is the same. She lost her position. Nevertheless, there is a difference. There may have been other issues. And because of privacy rights—hers not the Board’s—one may never know the whole story!—my addition).
Channel 2 News in Houston posted a statement from the Hempstead ISD which reads:
‘As always, it is our mission at Hempstead ISD to ensure that our students enjoy a safe and secure learning environment. Our students are our number one priority and we are creating a culture of excellence at Hempstead by giving our students the best customer service possible. We have high expectations for our students and we hold our administrators, teachers and support staff to high expectations and standards as well. We value the cultural diversity of our school and we embrace each and every student of all cultural and diverse backgrounds. The district is committed to efficiently and effectively moving forward in educating our students with as little disruption to their learning environment as possible.’
My eyes just glaze over when I read things like we ‘value the cultural diversity of our school’ and blah, blah, blah. The idea of a school is to educate! It’s to prepare students for life in America. And speaking of cultural diversity, about the only culture that’s not embraced these days is the American culture.
The best thing this school or any school could do for students is to get them speaking English as soon as possible. Study after study has shown that immersion into English is much more effective than a drawn-out bilingual program. And yet, here we are ... more concerned about not offending someone than actually doing what’s best for the kids.
What do you think? Did the principal go too far (She did if she took authority she did not have! She IS NOT the governing board! Just as President Obama has gone too far by rewriting laws passed by Congress, ignoring laws passed by Congress, and actually refusing to defend laws passed by Congress! Do you think the author would agree with me in relation to President Obama? You can not pick and choose when an authority figure can go beyond the authority that person has. If she violated her authority, then she is just as guilty as the President whether or not you agree with what she did in the specific instance!—my addition)?”

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
