“My sons are being forced to learn this language and it angers me to no end.”
Went to Prep School in the early 60s. All Freshmen had to take Latin. I hated it! After that year, we had our choice of Spanish, German, or French. I guess you take Spanish if you want to have business discussions with your gardener. I think my old school now also offers Mandarin.
After 2012, the language will be Ebonics....
