(NAME-MCE) English-only

[Abington-Pitre Aeve]

As a child who attended a school system that punished me and my brother any 
time we were caught speaking or reading non-English materials -- it's 
devestating to a child and as an adult I still carry the shame of not being 
able to speak Spanish or Cherokee fluently.
