People have a right to speak their own language. Get over it.

I'm all for people learning to speak English if they're going to live here in the States. In fact, I think it should be mandatory that anyone requesting a visa or citizenship should be able to read and speak English on a functional level. This does not mean that they should be forced to master the language. I can find plenty of American born people on my own block who are probably less capable of forming a coherent sentence than some of the immigrants I've met. And it certainly does not mean that their native language should be banned.
Who do these heartland hicks think they are to suspend a student based on a non-offensive conversation he had on his own time. Absolutely ridiculous. Someone needs to lose their job over this.
