Families drop appeal over Catholic school's English-only policy

Wednesday, 25 March 2009

The families of three Hispanic students have dropped their appeal of a
judge's ruling last summer that upheld an English-only policy at a
Wichita Catholic elementary school. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Denver March 16 granted the motion by the families asking
the court to dismiss their appeal, according to The Associated Press.
The students' parents initially sued the Wichita Diocese on behalf of
their children who had been in sixth grade at St. Anne School when it
adopted a policy in the fall of 2007 requiring that only English be
spoken during school hours. The parents claimed the school's policy,
no longer in effect, created a hostile learning environment.
