They should be treated with some special hands-on help on interpreting material. However, they should probably receive no academic special treatment. Academics should have been left as an issue for the student's former instructor.

The absolute BEST French professor in college, my sophomore year, I believe, said only FOUR (4) words of English the entire semester. He walked in the first day of the semester, and said, "Hello. My name is Monsieur Simpson." The next word he said, and every word thereafter that he said, was in French, NO EXCEPTIONS!! If you wanted to take a course to learn the French language, he thought, best you'd better get used to it, and if you have trouble understanding it, you'd better improvise and learn QUICK, because he gave homework assignments from the VERY FIRST DAY! I can promise you, without exception, that Monsieur Simpson was the ABSOLUTE BEST TEACHER IN ANY COURSE I EVER HAD, IN ANY GRADE, IN ANY SCHOOL, and I went on to get a Bachelor's degree and two Master's Degrees, so I know schooling real well. Another professor I had later in my first graduate school was very proficient in Spanish, or Mexican if you will, and you'd swear he was of that nationality, except he was very white, with light brown hair and green eyes, and his name was as Irish as they come. And when he took a class to Mexico City and points south, to learn how the Mexicans administered their governments, he spoke so fluent Mexican that he got us all around in the highest order, including in some conflicts with the various citizenry who couldn't understand us in our English. How did he learn such fluent Mexican? He had moved down there about 25 years earlier, not speaking one word of Mexican, and entered school and subsequently graduated. He was VERY aware of all the "ins-and-outs" of the Mexican culture as he grew in his fluency in their language and lifestyles/manners. So, what makes them any different from us? NOTHING!! If they want to learn, the WORST thing we can do to them is what the democrats have already done: make excuses for them. You want to be a part of (as opposed to apart from) our culture, then PAY ATTENTION AND LEARN!!!! Quit finding excuses and "sympathies" for why you can't do something!! Then, and only then, will you be accepted as an American of the United States. It's proven time and time again, so get to it, or get out!! God Bless you.

I personally think you should learn the common language if you move to a country, just to show you are trying to assimilate.
HOWEVER
There is NO national language in this country, so there can be no punishment to those who do not speak English.

we are all equivalent. it is not our fault you do no longer talk English. according to probability if we cope with them like the English audio equipment quite than babying them, they might surely learn the English language!! Huh, what a theory!

No, and the supreme court would agree.
See the case of Lau v. Nichols.
