First Presbyterian Church in Dallas runs a charitable organization called the Stewpot. The Stewpot offers free meals and community programs for children and social services for homeless and "at-risk" individuals. For many years, it has run a summer program for low-income children.
The Stewpot is in trouble. In an effort to help the children they serve during the summer assimilate, they strongly encourage them to speak English while in the program. A bunch of Mexicans are griping about it on social media and insisting that the staff member asking the kids to speak English be fired and other staff members be forced to take "sensitivity training."
Here's my suggestion: you no like a de way dey run de program, you no come. In the meantime, perhaps you should learn how to say "gracias" to an organization feeding and taking care of your bambinos gratis.
