Here’s a brief update on a court order I wrote on earlier, in which the judge ordered a Mexican-American father to speak to his child in English or face visitation restrictions.
MSNBC:
[A]fter Amador [the father] spoke out about it during a Catholic Charities protest forum Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union in Nebraska threatened legal action, a state senator filed a complaint with a state judicial review committee and a columnist for the Omaha World-Herald opined the judge�s decision shows that �racism is alive and having its brutish way in Omaha.�
�This decision is really ripe for a challenge, because it goes against the law, in my opinion,� said Legal Aid Society attorney Christopher Ho. He cited a 1927 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a Nebraska law that forbade teaching German in public schools.
Hopefully the judge’s discriminatory and unwarranted order will be invalidated soon, one way or another.
