CLIFFSIDE PARK -- Dozens of students walked out of classes in protest at Cliffside Park High School on Monday, days after a video of a teacher telling children to "speak American" appeared on social media.

Around 11:30 a.m., a fire alarm was pulled and hundreds of students came outside the school accompanied by staff members.

Some students in this heavily-Hispanic district enthusiastically waved flags symbolizing their heritage as cheers went up from crowds gathered outside.

"Men and women are fighting. They are not fighting for your right to speak Spanish," the teacher says in the video. "They are fighting for your right to speak American."

Kleidon Ndreu, president of the high school student council, said Monday a closed-session board of education meeting was planned to discuss the incident.

"It's very premature," Ndreu told a throng of news media outside the school. "We need to let the administration do what it is going to do. They are taking this very seriously."

Schools superintendent Michael J. Romagnino has not yet commented on the uproar created by the video or its fallout.

"We won't have any comment until we research both sides of this situation," said Louis Alfano, the district's business administrator. Alfano said he expected the board would release a public statement in the coming days.

Some students said they were hurt by the yet-to-be publicly identified teacher's words.

"It's wrong and it hurt me a lot," said Wagner Vasquez, 15, whose family came here from the Dominican Republic. "A lot of people here are hurt."

Anthony Campos, 16, said he saw the video on Snapchat minutes after it was posted.

"Coming from an English teacher -- saying to speak American -- that was just stupid," Campos said.

Students groan as the unidentified female teacher says, "you want to leave, be disrespectful" and one boy gets up from his desk and exits the frame. The woman then says, "goodbye, goodbye," as the camera pans to the door where at least one student seems to be exiting the classroom.

Cliffside Park's population is about 28 percent Hispanic, according to census figures.

I'd be pretty fucking offended if someone tried to tell me what languages I had the "right" to speak. Yes, students in America should learn fluency in English. But I would walk out on this teacher too.

Try speaking any language other than English at a poker table. The house will chuck your ass. There are pretty good reasons to require speaking English in an English-speaking school.

Also I bet they were doing a drug deal and thought they were being clever.

Fair enough. It's that "right" point that sticks in my craw.

Students also don't have the right to pass notes to talk secretly. It's a disciplinary issue. Also, if you're in a Spanish class, the teacher can and often will penalize you for speaking in English.

So long as there's a valid pedagogical or disciplinary reason for it, it's not unreasonable to insist everything goes on in English. Otherwise, and I was being half-joking about the drug deal thing, you could be organizing gang activity, drug activity, bullying of other students, and other discipline problems right in the open and the teacher wouldn't know.

I feel like her motives weren’t that well thought out or reasonable.

Well if they are the regular beaner immigrant, they will do well enough gardening without high English skills.

Its not like they will use their brains to work. Toilets don't need a speech before you clean them.

Furthermore, we are not a federally mandated multi-language country (official language is still English) and thus any lingual services catering to these entitled shits is to be viewed with a certain amount of gratitude rather than the scorn some of them obviously feel.

There is no federal official language in the United States.

just deport the fucking spics, they have no hopes of adapting and bring nothing to the table

But you’re a “spic” and bring nothing to the table.

Actually can we trade you for one of them? At least they don’t sound retarded.

I'm an American who happens to be of hispanic descent, not a spic who happens to be in America.
what do you gain by trading in a law abiding citizen that loves his country with ghetto parasites that can barley speak your language?

Ha ha no it doesn’t work that way amigo. What you can do is get that self hatred under control though.
