Spanish at School Translates to Suspension

Apparently this kid was on a break, outside of the classroom, and talking just with another one of his friends in the class in Spanish, not being disruptive during class or anything like that, and they decided to suspend him. And then of course they took it back once a fuss was raised. . . but still. I am glad that the kid's dad stood up for him, because it was definitely excessive to suspend the kid right off. I'm not sure a lawyer and everything is quite needed, however. . . I am sure there are some more pressing Hispanic civil rights issues besides this that should have more attention paid to them. Anyway. I just can't believe this actually happened.
