If you think American Culture in America is subverting a foreign culture, we are done here.

Barf. You do not know JRandomFreeper. I speak four languages. Spanish is one of them.

Don't presume you know what I believe. English should be the national language by law, however US citizens should be required to learn other languages as part of public education.

You don’t know anything about the subject we were on and are now finished with

I speak four languages, learned two in high school, taught my kids languages when they were toddlers, as all other countries do, at the time of language absorption, the reason most Europeans know many languages and speak them with little accent

It’s easy for them, it’s easy for us and its easy for immigrants except illegal ones who have no motivation as they’re getting the chamber of commerce to hand them anything they desire

If you haven’t been to Europe but claim to know what goes on there without even reading about it like many Americans I can tell you you might want to get informed. You’ll find out they don’t give up their language border nor culture. Not to Americans not to anyone. We think they’re snobs Not many Americans I know enjoy France they refuse to speak one word of French. I speak French when I’m there. The same Americans demand that I speak a language other than English in my country. And they, including you and your nastiness exemplifies my point, are as nasty to the French for not speaking English in France as they are to me for not speaking a different language in my country

I admire the French for not being stupid and naive about their language and culture as Americans are about their own

Have lived in numerous countries and have learned to speak the native language when appropriate, have worked with many different language speakers and teach the value of knowing other languages in my work as a teacher

So you can get off the horse and go stay in a border state for a few months and find out what’s happening to this country from this point of view and go back to Pennsylvania and tell them what is happening

Were her civil rights not violated? I would sue them to prove that they were not. The language of this country is ENGLISH. Unless the class description prior to enrollment specifically stated the class would be in a language other than English, I fell she has a case.

Why?
