Arlington, VA – ProEnglish is providing legal support for a student who was suspended merely for asking that students speak English in her classroom and during student projects. Terri Bennett, a nursing student at Pima Community College (PCC) in Tuscon, Arizona asked school administrators to make sure students speak English in the class so she could learn. After making this simple request, school administrators called Ms. Bennett a “bigot,” and she received a nine-month suspension. Ms. Bennett reached out to ProEnglish for assistance in May as PCC took these actions against her. “What happened to Terri Bennett is an outrage,” said ProEnglish Executive Director Robert Vandervoort.
