A valedictory speech delivered entirely in Spanish has stirred debate, and the language issue in general could lead to changes in future graduation programs aimed at helping all in attendance follow the proceedings regardless of the language spoken. Should this have been allowed?

Amber and me. I wish I was bilingual. I wish I could read this time there in Spanish all of my neighborhood. Right now I can understand a little bit of a tech guy in and drop a few. F bombs and it's -- and not proficient in any other language some would argue barely an English that's side. However. Can you imagine if your parents to that attended the graduation ceremony in -- California this week. Well we have another graduation in human California and that Telerate there. Gave his valedictorian speech entirely. In Spanish police speaking in English to apologize to those who would not understand -- has right now and alumni from. Daughter was also a pass valedictorian there bill meant to us joins us from San Francisco building moratorium. Tiny bit more -- folks I think I think idea. That the valedictorian. And dressed in entire school populace including the parents. In his speech. That was -- entirely in Spanish. -- How anyone think that was allowed. 6172666868. That's 6172666868. -- can text that's on on the -- like mortgage sex and that's X 8680. 68680. But -- -- -- A simple. Up and be okay. That this valedictorian. Should be allowed to delivered his entire. Graduation speech in Spanish. Never mind and there are people like me attending my knees and I nephews graduation ceremony they wouldn't be able to understand a word about it. We understand this guy chose to speak in Spanish to honor his parents he wasn't out to make any sort of a social statement. OK I -- and honoring your parents but aren't you parents. By delivering a speech in English that -- playing -- -- proud to be an American being crap out. -- get the top honors and you Clapton Newman California. And by being proud to say no this is Spanish I would've had a problem in get a special little message for his mommy and daddy -- livid that Spanish despite Indy Indy. But to deliver an entire speech. In Spanish. Does anyone else think that's okay. Would you have been able to follow along at this graduation ceremony. If somebody spokes being. Happening yacht kids' schools 6172666868. It is swing away headed. You go to an American school. In California. Which the last time I checked still now belongs. Within the United States of America. In the graduation. Speech. Is entirely. In Spanish. So might overreacting to this point to all of you agree. That this scenes. -- -- We are going to be heading in the direction. When you can go to any school campus and it's going to be perfectly fine for someone to only speak Spanish. Now this is how the school superintendent explained it. He said. I'm -- -- education code. In a past Supreme Court decision upholding the first amendment rights of students he does not believe -- speaker could be compelled. To present an address in -- specific language so -- other words. California interpreted. Interpreted and Supreme Court decision. That kids have the runs right. To pick what language. They want to engage in -- the rain in the United States public school. -- now us think that that is. Particularly. Dangerous. This is what the superintendent. Told reporters. We could request a student delivers speech in English but we would have little to inform us that if the student chose not to. So what are you telling me. And American public schools. Kids can choose to never speak English and that nothing anyone in the school system can do about it. Is this accurate. But now kids can say hey I don't have to speak English. Now I'm ready to I have to say the pledge of allegiance already they don't acting gauging any patriotic symbolism already -- I have to celebrate Christmas they don't have to. You know engage -- bake sales that was almost being in the Massachusetts but now they can choose what angry inch. They want to learn in what language they want to speak in in an American school Michael and my overreacting just. Not at all on the shelves you you do right on target it's the direct assault on the language. Borders and culture of this nation. Yeah might imagine if you went today's graduation ceremony this -- family and you like what. What do we checked in the back I stay. I -- I can't imagine it in the United States is under assault. On the -- -- vibe that cropped up politics from slope from the Obama administration. And those although I can. It was rulings on the left wing side. -- -- -- country. We've got to defend our borders language and culture I cannot stress that strongly enough. Michael has -- question did you any idea. It existed in this -- something called the education code in education code there is a First Amendment right. Of students to speak what ever language they feel like. I didn't I was not aware of that but it doesn't surprise me a bit because. Like I said it's the divide -- politics. -- -- -- Out of grey -- so much -- I mean this -- forgive me the first amendment rights of students are going to the First Amendment nobody does that idea. However. The detect -- the right -- the students to speak. In exclusively Spanish exclusively. Portuguese exclusively any language tell -- next with masonic fee hike out. Charlie noise and how talent -- all right good show. -- looked -- or looked good -- a permeate into sports cultural what I now like the low spurs. Don't talk about the espionage over Tora. -- -- -- subject digital only but it but they're they're changing the culture. You know what -- it is an overwhelmingly Hispanic population in a school and they want to have recognized that in some way. Okay I don't necessarily have a problem that they do all the problems with the students and well it's night First Amendment right to speak whatever language I want so you're gonna have to start teaching me in Spanish I'd just. Valedictorian now you have to think this is the smartest guys -- school and I have a problem with him being bilingual I was I was there really Dujail. However. The idea that this guy has the right to exclude. Exclude everyone else who doesn't speak English and understanding a word he said. Is astonishing to me. I don't I don't get that could be in its entirety while what you -- -- that Apple's. That's a big issue should be with that America as we speak English Balaguer did report that they are grows show guys. In a Third World country comes out of the jungle. Any -- this start for help we're the guys people sure that I take it to go get a Coca-Cola everybody speak English old -- US. It's -- number one language in the world. So we're going to put it we should be going forward. I haven't won an agreement that the trial I mean obviously we need to do I really do wish we do something more about. Instilling other languages. In the curriculum at schools I was I learned Italian fluently while I was in school I simply didn't -- took Spanish yelled miserably at it. Which is why couldn't understand a word that kids that. If I had been at that graduation ceremony thanks Joseph let's go to Linda. Thank you. Piling up. Well I'm Linda -- I I don't. And it I actually and it English be declared the that language. It's -- America at that an adorable. It was very -- act like you know it would keep. At it and language. -- -- being that was the challenge and other. -- Greek you know in addition to each other. It's. And it. Extra. And I don't end I -- well. I think it Wednesday in as textured 939 points out the US does not have an official national language. Which I I guess begs the question is this something that needs to be addressed especially at the superintendent of this California school said that hey. You know maybe I didn't understand speech but I -- the education code. Aunt passed Supreme Court decision upholding the first amendment rights of students he didn't have the right to say to the student. Well -- guy. Finding any if you wanna give -- parents a shout out in Spanish but to deliver the -- speech in Spanish. Excludes everyone else in the audience who happens to not I don't -- of Hispanic descent -- -- -- But these superintendent. Said that the rules are in favor of the kid who doesn't wanna speak English. -- That our education at work. -- Acts Cole can't go out to be up -- Version. And that may still be English. Right -- relative to the right. It. The gaelic speaking Irish everybody who came all we have learned how to speak. English but yes I know yesterday I had -- big night in Atlanta with this washer and dryer about The Home Depot. So I wish we literally had to like like getting news on our show. And old people and I look at the signs and fury that every single sign. Every island Home Depot wasn't speech. It's not agree it's not Italian. The I don't feel like it's not yet to -- -- not any other language but Spanish. All right. So. I guess we just ticket kowtowing but what should be at thank you went for the call that Franco was really scary. Is that what the superintendent said that we have an education code so what does this mean every kid who feels like he's never gonna learn how to speak English can just. Insist on speaking Spanish throughout the school day in American school. I've -- you're not Michelle McVeigh. -- Michelle it you know what it's the whole thing Michelle like it seems like the last couple years anyway. Get right at immigration. What my family we're Bob Portuguese and I -- German I have by I applaud -- -- nationalities all came from different country. Came here and battled and learn the language. Went in the military my grandfather. He was even down -- exes fighting until beyond proud. Our rule you know and opt out of that -- that I I learned a pledge allegiance that I bought. Fought in the military and it'll look all these things -- be proud that the American not not to try to hit all the things away from me I'm very angry about it. Laughter I don't think always started the week up with that school in Brooklyn -- the principal. Who refuses to say the pledge of allegiance and sits through assembly's one the pledge is being recited. She decided. That they'll be green woods on god bless the USA was. To move grown up five year old that spent months learning it. And instead of singing a song that was patriotic and celebrated his country the kids that sing baby baby baby by Justin Bieber. So the straight. That's age appropriate -- about teenage dating but a sign that heralds in has the thirty years -- to how old that's on his. The sacrifices made by families has not appropriate this is what we're talking about the public school system but it did it. Yet Michelle it's just all it it has changed and I look at an early exit the and as it is it's just changed. Not for the better you know and if it. It actually he can hit out of disrespect. Not to respect their country you at all. It beat prop up our country and and learn our language and learn how way. And learn -- pledge allegiance and be happy you're here. I'm Libya Franco thank you and don't just sit. Think I'm thinking back on to earlier this week we talked about the -- green was on and how that's son could not be sung by the kindergartners and -- and Chris we did a little cable we come back we'll play it by you. The reason the principal cited when she pulled the song. From the pageant was at some parents might be offended. Because then on American. -- Yeah well let's go to California. You're an American parent -- border raising California. -- don't understand a word of at English other than dolby it's albino which is half the time I don't even know how to say it. In now he's sitting down and you are subjected to a graduation speech given by the valedictorian. Entirely in Spanish. After that not offensive. How does that not exclusionary. Steve you are next with Michelle McPhee and WRKO hi Steve. And Michelle played on. You know. It's it's really aggravating you know people come from all over the world to come here for that -- lights and you know. I have no problem with people comment from wherever but -- -- Don't bring your country where it's -- You can bring the culturally -- in practice whatever he wants at home and stuff but don't try to infringe on the American experience. And every one is completely. Clear on exactly what America uses and they're completely trying to change it like Barack Obama. You know east tonight you know transform. America into a lot. You know if I mean what would these people really think what they want to change America into any -- in the seventies when I grew up I mean in all. You know chit -- respects -- -- she didn't ever -- apparent or any adult and a matter. And I have to find a kid twenty bucks for dropping bombs on main street middle -- It's just pathetic everyday trauma would be stupid rules and our line. And Bloomberg wants to what you'll -- any sort over sixteen ounces. -- and movie theater popcorn Steve all right all right now. So what it says you can't fight like to sixteen -- so fast I mean you know itch apps and and these people come up with these stupid pathetic rules. And then you guys you know you get all -- The population. Who sit on their -- -- and the government you know to change their diapers in -- -- Scary about Steve -- the idea that the superintendent talks about something I've never heard. Which is. This income and number. I mean I think T. That's out -- it -- and speak another language Emma -- like or is it. This don't I think we need to get rid of tenure. We need to start going into schools we need to. We need to root out east principals superintendents. Teachers professors. You know every one whose whirlwind thing. This country in the education in this country and trying to indoctrinate these kids and. At this begs the open all -- Thank you so much for the -- but this education code it sounds like something that the federal lockyer teacher I want to hear from -- 61726. X 6868. You have reacted if you went to a graduation ceremony that was delivered. Only -- the -- I don't even need did I say why. In Spanish does anyone else help me out six point 72666868. -- can Texas on the pole time what its next line it's X 8680. We had to be -- you know I am shocked me. When flexible and that he wanted to give the speech in English and Spanish and the principle that we didn't have enough time for bowl so you can do it in Spanish and I just find that unbelievable -- the schoolteachers and English the only the only -- that isn't taught English is Spanish. And all the students speak English. -- -- That's why you say what. And Spanish -- on the AM 680 WRKO I now know lab because people coming out with that. 6172666868. It's shocking to anyone else out there. Parents went to a graduation ceremony this week in a place called Newman California. And the valedictorian. -- the entire. Speech. The entire speech in Spanish. In the superintendent when asked about this like whole -- that's happened. He said hey we have something called education code and under the education code. This kid has the right to deliver the speech -- the language he wants even if we wanted to hear it in English we can't force it. I tried -- to a resurgent and this education Conan looks like it is written state by state there's some federal guidelines. Really a code is it tells this kid he can speak. Entirely in Spanish even if no one else at the graduation ceremony or a certain populations the graduation ceremony are going to be able to understand. So six or 72666868. You have done. If you couldn't understand a word. -- kids valedictorian. Speech as thirty Anthony and I Anthony out Timothy. -- actually beautiful -- bureau. You can't speak two languages but upon graduation ceremony at an American school I want to -- English. Of Russia -- serviceman or woman. Took note to protect this country against foreign and domestic and in all it's about time the citizens United States. There are patriots wake -- -- Vietnamese have infiltrated our school systems. And our government. It's I'll vote -- divided clocked at this country -- it and polarize it. In the it is happening everywhere you know now my schedule changed and and fit in my yoga classes so iPod the YMCA and I -- over there for -- 530 yoga class if any. I didn't notice on the schedule that it was a Spanish language yoga class the. The -- I won't. And what I mean I think that's. Delhi with the large stores sell clothes for sale signs in Spanish. Do -- American thing and just take all doubt after the managers say student but I wanted to be an anguished soul. Evidence. I mean they're in English to Anthony now why can't -- in Vietnamese it's hanging Greek. Portuguese. I mean why really why do we making it's so easy for people not to have to do. Learn English in this country and when it becomes acceptable for the smartest kid in the school. To deliver his graduation speech entirely. I really don't have a problem that he had some kind words for his parents to honor his parents. But the entire speech was in Spanish. Well Michelle. -- the end there agenda. Is they created much chaos as possible. To make life miserable for everybody. So that they can. Divide the -- -- this great country. Well I'll let the Anthony thank you so much for the crop. Peter you are next with Michelle my -- already had Peter. I'm Michelle. -- -- -- Well I you know something we appreciate you calling. Was actually saying what -- but I was gonna say in a different way but you know. Com you don't have a close said. That get immersed in work and I'm I'm I'm thinking the people who. People who were trying to figure out how would pop what's the best way to educate kids -- understanding like appears close the merchant worksheet understanding that. That's not -- gender of the Liberal Democrats took to educate these -- they would rather have a educated society. Because these are the people will go to some of these are people going to be on food stamps and welfare. Well why in the world would -- Georgia area are admire you why in the world would they want educated vote. So it vacancy with going on in this country and and vote against them they want somebody who's gonna cook food stamps all day and sit home. I mean that of those thousand about the people that with -- work -- just who is -- That you don't want someone who's gonna actually read the story in the paper about how John Kerry still. Hasn't paid excise tax on his you know. Ridiculously sized -- the Isabella that he -- in. Rhode Island so that he doesn't have to pay the taxes in Massachusetts I mean you know for every one of us tickets excise tax bill every day every year excuse me. And if people aren't paying attention if they can't read the paper in English then it up -- -- make an argument that we should pay high taxes even though he avoids taxes it every turn. Welcome back as. Just try to sort it out that it's not maybe that the they get beat in English to the -- probably perfectly capable of Reading as the point has. I think this is gonna vote to continue while cutting entitlements. Because you positions. I'm sure he's been involved in -- NBC's part about it console. Have to -- it doesn't work anymore. Half the country dog -- not have about following world people aren't -- him. Our money here I have to do -- go to my feet but paid to Michelle -- down -- PH EU right now. -- caught me a traffic stop this week asked her an identification and the her canceled his past health card. It has the birthday of 1973. So I heat and lights and here illegally -- -- -- health cart. When cops fingerprinted and run the prints and actually comes back to a guy who was born in 1960. Who had an arrest record so. I can surmise at that fact that -- has amassed health card -- EBT card in both names or identities. Does their reality of the world we live right now and that guy's gonna be on the voting role in my neighborhood as well. It's -- you know Michelle only that but. This is such -- rules because you know you're -- I'm old bomb Barack Obama's uncle. Gonna grow a license right. Now I eyewitness -- -- fifteen years -- -- came back to Massachusetts I -- to the -- I -- produce a birth certificate article about the tower was -- Get a birth certificate no and a had to bring -- checkbook and some kind of electric bill. So how come I needed the birth certificate if he wasn't born in the country so he doesn't have a birth certificate. I mean it makes no sense that's uncle Obama. Back I think it was Obama to. Obama on young though he gets a drink driving wrapped in Yankee and he's successfully makes that -- cop. In Framingham the pulled him over turn out his driving wreckage. And the whole case somehow missed in mysterious way Peter gets dismissed. And then next thing you know uncle bombers back -- the job where it's unclear actually -- taxes because -- is here illegally. And how -- get that job. While at the car he was drunk driving and driving -- now he -- the -- and it's crazy Peter thanks for the call EBI next with Michelle -- go right ahead Amy. They did you already back on it -- Amy. I I -- and these -- speech. -- -- I am actually well actually and yet -- I I took a lot of -- pilot got the banished back in the eighty backed at eight -- -- but -- And I kept it got built in my job quietly but nevertheless. It that it happened I can't speculation I would not appropriately. -- been hit outlet Eric I got the evolve and we -- Obama we would -- out and I would bet a lot of other English speaking people. Yeah I mean this acceptable in and in the NB PME administrators at the school to say. Well our hands tied because I don't education code and because of the Supreme Court. We can't tell him to speak English is put the superintendent actually said this and you have it ready. We could request a student to deliver a speech in English. But we would have little tour -- forced if the student chose not to. It's that the kid has more rights to refuse to speak English in a public school are all paying for. At a school administrator of the superintendent. -- can make this -- speak English and a publicly funded school. But -- and -- can't speak and that's where I put it on line don't -- it is gonna beat them. -- you know. -- is frightening that this will -- an example Eric. I'm with -- on everything much outside and let it back I you'd be privy. Don't think -- Thanks Amy so much that I'll text or 50 wait says we need in taking American citizenship test in Spanish. Well I know all you can vote in any language you -- because I'll never get the story and I think everyone at the Harold about the veterans. The veteran. And in fact he was a veteran idea. Vietnam War. He went to vote in Dorchester Florian all -- -- be -- out of ballots have such a busy election year and they gave the wind and Vietnamese and the guy -- I got married. English ballot. This is really headed Hewitt 361726668686172666860. Day. I'm -- VE RW mark you know. He could have started to speak in English and then a few words in Spanish for the fans and audience. And then gone back and -- the beginning speak in English because. There were a lot of what what what they're really I made me that. The fact there are a lot of people visiting this school and I I'm proud of the school I went to school there are very successful. Were my daughter's. And why they why they allow the bit dipped actually to happen and people from out of town sitting there not understanding the speed. -- -- -- -- keep others sit there look you know like why. What is that like me on the show on the CD WRKO Steve what do you think -- next. I figured it out doing Michelle you know what there's just no expectation of assimilation anymore like for example might. My god -- Pablo would not let my father speaks French so he could not speak to encourage other all. Because he was in America and used to talk to speak English and outlook. Go to your notebook -- no expert -- a normal and I mean I don't mind immigrants coming. But -- come to this country you have to learn the language. Without being able to -- the trade and American government and the English language nor in the language you're bringing a language spoken. And that's always the way it's thanks Steve I mean we're a country of emigrants is no denying that and all of our. Grandmothers and great grandmothers. And great grandparents came albeit not the country's. But beating out everything to be printed in tallying hiring gay in a color and I don't know Hebrew though -- in any other language I just find it really. I'm comfortable now especially relevant he spots and they don't twist stores in the signed there an English I'm sorry in Spanish and non English. Yeah I -- I have been warrants or entered into totally there's just no expectation -- -- When our government does not speak what are you wanted dug them out but that's not the true. You know that's not the -- -- people all the because they don't want side of it because they don't have to speak English. They only -- they only not to speak Spanish so it -- -- to show that Archibald assimilation -- -- what because it's really doing. They don't understand why the. While -- and he is a problem I mean that's the big word here -- government I'd love to hear more about education code. And how that prevents the superintendent from saying to a teenager hey guy. It's great the other hot shots smartest kid in school. I'm so happy the valedictorian. And I have no problem with you. Sprinkling some Spanish and -- speech but I'm sorry you're in the United States and you gonna have to deliver a valedictorian speech in English so that every parent can understand it. -- justice and certain parents can understand it. But the superintendent says he doesn't even have the right to tell kids that now under the new education code. That's a joke I -- in -- and you know -- growing up a moratorium and being bilingual like every right you know what you're speaking -- -- Spanish speaking -- it has to -- or someone else is. One could actually be terminated. Well they haven't Steve thanks for the calls that judge next -- statute. General this year I'll catch yeah it's I would just a generic topic about the subject. Grew up during Jermareo sorry. Are -- it is sold in -- it sort of -- -- history. But once saying about me and my -- -- Ali's been out of merit in. Spot in the Korean War. And I but he -- Net debt at a Hispanic groups spread that sailor came -- -- -- one -- My son knows it -- that Ingrid Jimmie was speaking the rich at the dinner table and perhaps. -- advised him that this would not happen in -- outside. Accurate about. You know army which you speak our language and it's -- allies your about a better opt out of it and and people. Check it out today which it will probably -- year -- I'm Rick is facts thank you very much for the column with you 100% in and I think that's the difference maybe it's a generational thing. All of us have relatives who spoke. Other languages I have friends his parents still speak broken English. But just let their kids speak perfect. English firm -- And that's because they're educating American schools where they were required to learn how to speak English so that's where this is. You'll congratulations to this high school kid. Who actually prince who was graduating the top honors in did earn the right to be the valedictorian spotting. But he should be just as proud. That he is graduating from an American school when his parents worked so hard to bring him here in the first place so it's really on his parents he -- delivered it. In English but because his parents probably broke -- facts. Getting him here so that the kid could be the valedictorian. And deliver and -- -- English speech what do you think -- next Kyra got -- -- feet. Then when I -- -- say you're in the you're -- -- both Spanish -- I am I -- as a class and a lot of I have not gotten that excited at. -- -- -- -- -- -- And I. Don't. I'll outline -- To matter that -- mean a de. -- eaten. Boston Massachusetts. And -- Expect the -- to teach. In. In. -- -- Yes I should help you know which. Last month -- in downtown plummet and you know doc compliment. It's becoming like real -- and you know people coming from nightlife is like an entertainment -- on and -- -- -- all the eyes were celebrating Cinco De Mayo.

December 22 is which is -- -- the pilgrims landed on the rocks and amniotic got cultures which only now being. -- -- Britain and Ireland Mexico because it's it's. In its celebrates a battle but it's. I mean it's like on field agents at -- They look great. -- Father's Day -- that he's and that data on pilgrims landed implement rock and I think -- Which is being made to feel guilty about -- culture means they don't celebrate Columbus Day -- Moreno come home. I mean offense they have a lot missed some people say was mean to the Indians were down by thank you Paul FBI next. Some X -- I get a. I why bring it. Is being -- I grew up in a hole with a three languages spoken. And me when I went out the public I was only allowed to speak English. The second thing is I actually looked up federally and state and I'm not Massachusetts's. Voters elected. With a proposal that English speak to play at the next -- excellently. And people looked set up and see which party voted. Predominantly. -- -- -- I don't against -- because you can get a ballot.
