Another message to LINGUIST gives some more links to stories in the Omaha World Herald about the judge who told a father not to 'speak hispanic' to his daughter (he's stepped down now). The links are here, here, here and here. The original article is here

The person who sent the post comments:

...I'm also impressed that Judge Reagan's office is returning calls about his ruling forbidding a father to speak Spanish to his child...It sounds like Judge Reagan has been getting quite a lot of flak on the ruling. Some community groups have requested to meet with the judge, and others are taking the opportunity to do a little public education on bilingualism. So maybe some good will come of this in the end
