DODGE CITY -The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas is asking Dodge
City Community College about the school’s language policy.

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.  See the letter here.

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.

The letter further pointed out that an English-only requirement would
violate the constitutional rights of the school’s students.
