Superintendent Apologizes For Schools Spanish Ban - Mount Prospect, Illinois

“Controversy swirled around Mount Prospects River Trails Middle School this week after students received a letter threatening to suspend them for speaking Spanish.

The school district is very proud of their diverse student body, he said, and he also stated he will be in contact with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund to work out the problem”
