I took a lot of tests in College that I passed then, and would probably fail now. When you study specifically for the test, that seems to happen.

So Taco, it is not about free speech. One on the laws of our country is that you must be able to read and write in English.
Actually, you're wrong. It's not a law, by any means. Such a law would be unconstitutional. There is a test that requires it, for sure. But not a law. Two very different things.

I don't believe that you will find any school district in the United States which doesn't teach English as the primary language because this would violate federal law.
Which federal law is this? The ACLU would be all over it if there were such a law. No such law exists.

It is a free speech issue. You can't get around that. You just can't. It's there in the constitution. See "First Amendment."
