This “debate” is proof enough that this country is heading in the wrong direction. Imagine, a Presidential debate that is being held in Spanish. I nver thought I would see such a thing in my 64 years in this country. By 2050 one in four residents of the US will be Hispanic and non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population down from 90% in 1970. Demography is destiny.
With the great influx of Vietnamise to California, following the end of that war, the State Sec of Ed was asked the best approach to incorporate these new citizens.

“Total immersion!” was the instant response.
Never mind that he continued to support bilingual education for the Hispanic immigrants!?!?!?!
Agendas are often more important the heartfelt beliefs.
