The interesting thing is that the article speaks of "Puerto Rican immigrants..." which is an impossibility in Orlando.

 "Puerto Rican teachers who work at my school are constantly asking me for help with math because they only received the equivalent of a fifth-grade education in Puerto Rico," the letter said."

"If the teacher violated school policy, it's not a first amendment issue, but a employee / employer issue." Not when the employer is the state.

Teachers in PR are college graduates. Puerto Rico universities are at the same standards as mainland ones.

"H. Reader" historyrea...@verizon.net

    Only by the wildest, most tortured stretch of logic has the teacher violated any policy.

"H. Reader" historyrea...@verizon.net

    That's a meaningless statement, as standards at mainland universities vary widely.

vary widely.
I've worked with recent college graduates from Puerto Rico, and they were no different from those educated on the mainland.  I've also taken computer cl***es with them.  They were near the top of the cl***....

And so do they in PR. In general, the main universities in PR have very high transfer rates to the US, and very high rates of success by those transferees. In fact, US companies recruit graduates in PR for moves to the mainland.

Real education in this country has been displaced to too great a degree by the University of Phoenix and that ilk.

Unless the school policy is itself a violation of the First Ammendment

    And still, standards at mainland universities vary widely.  But thanks for the useless factoids.

"H. Reader" historyrea...@verizon.net

    Thanks to Affirmative Action.
    Thanks to grade inflation.
    Thanks again to the corporate "commitment to diversity," as they call the corporate policies of racial discrimination.

US companies recruit illiterate slave labor from all third world crap holes to flood the country with.

My Name is Legion Leg...@notrealaol.com

Bullshit if you had read the news article she wrote a letter to a congressman and the next thing that happens is that letter is some how in the hands of a Spanish newspaper... would you like your private correspondence to elected officials get sent to newspapers for public consumption?   Some one on the congressmen's staff or the congressman himself sent it to the press.

Actually, they like best to recruit from the School of Technology of the Univversity of Puerto Rico, which is highly ranked. Since the grads are also bilingual (half the cl***es are in English at least) these recruits generally make more than persons with equivalent mainland technology and engineering degrees. The business grads, MBAs and such also get higher than average starting salaries.

Summarize the Orange County policy concerning speech of teachers:

Yeah, it's a damn shame the US has been flooded with so much illiterate divisiveness from the third world that American schools are forced to waste time and money offering worthless and divisive ethnic studies, and then turning around to waste more time and money on trying to teach students of those ethnic studies not to slaughter each other in the streets instead offering subjects that provide real education to provide for useful job skills, dragging our education system into the gutter below that of third world crap holes like Puerto Rico.

"David Eduardo" amda...@pacbell.com

Public education in PR is about as bad as it is in any comparable area of the US. The only difference is that PR is an enclosed, insular society and there is less mobility so kids tend to go to the same school all their academic career and most tend to graduate.
The big difference is that nearly 25% of Puerto Rican kids go to private or religious schools, where they generally are given bilingual instruction and have smaller cl***rooms and more teacher attention. Those who attend mainland universities have very high acceptance rates based on academic achievement, not minority preference.
I have had kids in both US schools and Puerto Rican ones, and the difference, in favor of the PR ones, is marked.
