A relatively minor conflict last year between an Esmeralda County School District bus driver and two Hispanic high school students led to a rule banning Spanish from being spoken either at school or on the buses.
The bus driver’s response to the conflict had been to complain to the district superintendent that the two students began speaking to each other in Spanish, which he didn’t understand. The superintendent, Robert Aumaugher, followed up by telling parents their children should speak only English.
Suddenly the conflict wasn’t so minor anymore, because the state and national offices of the American Civil Liberties Union told the superintendent the rule was unconstitutional.”*
