Contemporary Form of Segregation?
It's disturbing that this happened in a modern Utah high school...It's that good ole' "English Only" mentality. What positive and non-prejudiced results that attitude brings!

While they're at the "English Only" movement, why not adopt a similar "White culture is superior initiative" or "Latinos are equal when they learn our language" policy? Both (like English Only) without any substantive effect on actual law or regulation. Just you know....to make it "officially" clear. Then they can justify it (like English Only) by explaining that they're trying to help the minority cultures become more...well...like them.
Right.
