Students 'force-fed Spanish' in Social Studies: Parents Angry

This is the new America. Students are forced to learn and speak the Spanish language, a foreign language, in their very own country.



WAUNAKEE, Wis. (AP) -- Some Waunakee parents are objecting to the school district teaching students about Wisconsin history in Spanish. This is another good reason parents should seriously consider homeschooling their kids!....M

The Waunakee School District teaches students in first through fourth grades Spanish by having them use the language in social studies lessons for 30 minutes three days a week.

Parent Keith Wilke says he and others believe their children are being "force-fed Spanish."

Wilke says a large part of the social studies instruction is in Spanish and the children don't understand it. His daughter is in fourth grade, where Wisconsin history is covered.

Superintendent Randy Guttenberg says he understands parents' concerns about teaching complex subjects in Spanish and the classes are being monitored.

School district leaders will meet with parents Thursday night to discuss the issue.
