#1 I thought that the Hmong were a legacy from VietNam. That war ended officially 26 March 73, over 33 years ago. Where do elementary school children speaking only Hmong come from?

#3 I think we recently allowed a group that have been in Thai-border refugee camps since the war. If I remember right, the Thai won't let them into Thailand, but they can't go back to Vietnam. If I remember wrong, I apologize.

They fought on our side during the Vietnam War. The Communists persecuted the heck out of them after the war was over. Many ended up in Thai refugee camps. We recently started taking them in. This segregation is nuts, though. How the heck are they going to blend in if the school insists on keeping them apart from the rest of their classmates?

#6 I'm unclear as to how English-speaking peers would hinder the Hmong kids' study of English.
