Alexander the Great also knew the power of language over the mind of peoples and their ability to integrate into the ruling society. People DO need to learn the language of the country they live in, and that goes for Americans living abroad, too.

True, but you didn’t go far enough.

Alexander’s team developed the most exacting Greek and insisted that his army use it as they conquered the known world. Of course, we know that as the koine Greek of the New Testament.

If DJT stayed the course with English, it would speak volumes. No more patronizing from the White House.
