 CITY -The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas is asking Dodge City
 Community College about the school’s language policy.</p>
<p>According to the organization’s web site, they contacted the DCCC 
president and requested official documents related to an alleged 
requirement that the College’s cosmetology students speak only English 
and refrain from speaking Spanish at school.  <a href="https://www.aclukansas.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/letter_to_dr._nolte_re_english-only_rules_2017.03.14.pdf" target="_blank">See the letter here.</a></p>
<p>The March 14, letter points out that 38.7% of the school’s students 
were Hispanic during the 2016 academic year and that 53.5% of Ford 
County residents were Hispanic according to 2015 census data.</p>
<p>The letter further pointed out that an English-only requirement would
 violate the constitutional rights of the school’s students.</p><p><a href="https://www.hayspost.com/2017/03/26/aclu-questions-english-only-policy-at-kan-community-college/">https://www.hayspost.com/2017/03/26/aclu-questions-english-only-policy-at-kan-community-college/</a><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents. Members who disagree with a message are encouraged to post a rebuttal, and to write directly to the original sender of any offensive message.  A copy of this may be forwarded to this list as well.  (H. Schiffman, Moderator)<br><br>For more information about the lgpolicy-list, go to <a href="https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/" target="_blank">https://groups.sas.upenn.edu/mailman/</a><br>listinfo/lgpolicy-list<br>*******************************************</div>
