Colorado, ironically from the title, also has a very uncomfortable relationship with all things Chinese. St.Vrain Valley School District is teaching Chinese in the schools now, they do all kinds of activities, art, etc of the Chinese culture. I asked my son’s teacher what gives last year, her answer...”well, because they are having a big influence on America in lots of ways”. Which was chilling to me. It was like a liberal passivist way of saying they own us.

If they are teaching Chinese AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, I don’t see a problem with that. It will be like teaching French or Latin.
But, if they are teaching Chinese to the DETRIMENT of English <-— THAT is a HUGE problem.
