No Spanish? No job, teachers told, 8-17-07

'I know what the trend is, and it's not looking good,' educator says

Spanish-speaking students are flooding into an Illinois school district so fast that teachers who educate in English only are being involuntarily transferred, and they believe there will come a time when they no longer will have a job.

"I know what the trend is, and it's not looking good," Valerie Goranson told the Chicago Tribune. "Even if my job was saved this year, what about next year?"

She has twice lost a teaching assignment in the Waukegan district because she doesn't speak Spanish, she said. Last year, after teaching 5th grade at North Elementary for six years, district officials moved her to Clark Elementary to make room for a Spanish-speaking teacher at North.

  • This is why I'm having a hard time finding employment! Americans can't even keep a roof over their heads or feed their own families, because these lawbreakers are sneaking into this country and expect us to give it to them and the government still lets it happen!

    President Bush, make English the official language in the United States and "ENFORCE IT" so Americans can keep their jobs in their own country.
