Your two “cures” are good. Add to them things like:
- No more of the hyphenated race/ethnicity designations. Americans need to identify with AMERICA, as they did in the early 1900s. As long as kids are raised thinking they’re equally hispanic, black, Chinese, etc., they’ll never be true Americans. If they aren’t true Americans, they’ll blow off learning our history, language, etc.
- End the bi-lingual crap in the schools. It cheats the English-speaking kids when teachers have to adjust curricula to the lowest common denominator.
- End American adoptions from foreign countries. God knows there are enough children in America who need good homes. Why, on purpose, raise a kid who’ll always believe they’re only half American?
- End the bi-lingual crap in the schools. It cheats the English-speaking kids when teachers have to adjust curricula to the lowest common denominator.
Minneapolis just got a new schools superindendent, a Somali immigrant. He came to this country, built a few businesses, and got active in the school board. He was being interviewed on Chris Baker’s radio program, when he was asked about bilingual education. His response was that the emphasis will be on English. English is the language to succeed in this country and is the language of global business. I was surprised to hear this. Minneapolis? Liberal Multi-Culty Hell?
Chris Baker is no longer on the air, tends to be politically incorrect (and has none of the Minnesota passive aggressive BS).
