So what? When I was growing up, they taught German, Italian, French and Spanish in my high school.

Frankly, I think we'll better off having our kids learn Chinese as a second language than French and Spanish - two worthless languages in my opinion. French is too sissy and there is pretty much no literature of note in Spanish. Most people who speak Spanish are from cultures that never produced very much of intellectual worth. Most people who speak French, well, you probably wouldn't want to speak with them anyhow.

At least with German and Italian, you can appreciate some operas and literature. But even those languages are falling by the wayside.
