In a case that drew national attention, a federal judge upheld the right of St. Anne’s Catholic School in Wichita, Kansas and its local diocese to require students to speak English at school. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Hispanic student, Adam Silva, whose parents had challenged the school’s policy charging it was illegal national origin discrimination.
ProEnglish assisted the school’s legal team and hired a local attorney to represent two St. Anne’s students who were deposed or required to answer questions from the plaintiff’s attorney.
