Nasty Wingnut Spoils Kindergarten Concert With Racist Ranting
Some nasty, malevolent wingnut took it on himself to spoil a kindergarten concert in Iowa by yelling "USA! English Only!" over and over when the concert was introduced first in English, and then by a Spanish translator to accommodate Spanish speaking toddlers and their parents.
This occurred last week at the local Performing Arts Center in Perry, Iowa, about 40 miles Northwest of Des Moines, during a concert by Perry Elementary School students. The incident was caught on a 12-second video and provided to the Perry News. The video shows:
An unidentified man being escorted out of an auditorium by security personnel, while he repeatedly chants, "USA, English only. USA, English only," and shakes his fist in the air.
The man responsible for the disruption reportedly started bellowing the chant when a translator began repeating the event host's opening remarks in Spanish.

He may have circumvented that music problem by going to a snake-handling church:

They are completely, permanently self-obsessed. Incapable of caring for other people.

It's back to the drawing board for him. Clearly he wasn't anticipating this, was he?

It was specifically the bilingual intro that disturbed his tiny brain, not the songs...

Have no doubt he would. People like him see all people different from himself
