This article was about Richard's upbringing in school. Who grew up in a Spanish speaking household and went to a Catholic school. The nuns told his parents that he needs to speak more English in school. That caused a division in the household with language. I don't think it was right for the nuns to come into his household and make it seem like an issue because he spoke Spanish. In schools we always scold kids for speaking another language without understanding their background. When I was in high school, sometimes the teachers would be like, "speak English, it is offensive for people around you". Growing up, I see how some of us Latinos stuck to our own kind and be distant from others. It is natural to be with your people. Sometimes it would be hard to excel in school because of the language barrier.
