Teacher tells student to Speak American (Commentary)

I am sure by now, you have all heard the story about the Teacher in Cliffside Park, New Jersey school, told a student to speak American.
The Cliffside Park community is full of people from a lot of different Spanish speaking Countries so you are bound to hear Spanish speaking all over this city.
There is supposed to be a protest concerning this incident and I believe that it is the right of the students to protest, however, the teacher was right but her delivery was wrong, she should have expressed to the students, why it is better that they should speak American English.
The fact is, when you go for a job in the United States of America, you will go on that job speaking English unless you are hired by Spanish employers or they are looking for someone who is bi-lingual.
It is important that bi-lingual students speak perfect English because during their career in the workforce, they will need to communicate effectively.
I have known people who have been in this country for forty years or more and cannot speak English and it is very sad.
It should be a requirement to speak English if you want to be an American Citizen. You are very marketable if you are bi-lingual but your English must be easily understood.
My hope is that this situation can be resolved within this school district to everyone's satisfaction.
