It Could Only Happen In Kansas

A high school student was suspended for using Spanish to respond to another student's request for a dollar. Apparently, Principal Jennifer Watts of Endeavor Alternative School, doesn't want Spanish spoken at the school.
The complete article is here.
Is there something in the water or air in Kansas? These are the same people who want "creationism" (re-named "intelligent design") taught in science classes. While the principal is at it, she should also ban the following non-English words from the school: taco, burrito, pizza, spaghetti, macaroni, hamburger, falafel, moccasin, bayou, alligator, bronco, guerrilla, cargo, cafeteria, iguana, and others too numerous to mention.

Guess what Rumsfeld plans to do? Rumsfeld plans to start withdrawing troops if the elections in Iraq go well. Hm.... So does Rumsfeld agree with Rep. John Murtha?
