Finally a Judge that is willing to "stick up" for America. We need more of these and we will not see them under the Commie/Imam Obama.

In a case that drew national attention, a federal judge has upheld the right of St. Anne's Catholic School in Wichita, Kansas and its local diocese to require students to speak English at school. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Hispanic student, Adam Silva, whose parents had challenged the school's policy charging it was illegal national origin discrimination. ProEnglish intervened to help the school defend the policy which the school had implemented to stop harassment among its students.
"St. Anne's Catholic School is fully within its rights as an educational institution to curb bullying, profanity and exclusionary behavior among its students by requiring that English be spoken, and we are pleased that Judge J. Thomas Marten agrees," says K.C. McAlpin, executive director of ProEnglish, a national English advocacy organization. The group gave assistance to the Wichita, Kansas, school's legal team and hired a local attorney to represent two St. Anne's students that were caught up in the lawsuit over the "speak English" rule.
