It depends why that rule was put into place and if it applies to everyone. Check the EEOC's website for more information: http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/nationalorigin.cfm.

You probably want to consult with an employment attorney if their is no valid job reasons for not letting you speak spanish, then it would be discrimination.
