editor’s note: this woman nails it – points to the obvious elephant in the room. it also hits home. i tried relentlessly to break into the social service field. in my area – all such work requires that you speak spanish. i remember asking if the State would offer me free training. nope. i asked “why not? when someone comes here from Mexico they are given free training to speak english.” oh the person would have no answer to that. i could take some classes – at my expense. it’s wrong. it’s a disgrace. and it was done intentionally. bravo to this woman! heck, vote her in. remove maxine – put her in!
