I don't think even Keyes would advocate that it is wrong for a candidate to speak to voters that speak Spanish in Spanish, if he or she can. The idea that Hispanics are not learning English over time is ludicrous. Having said that, I would never vote for a candidate who supported bilinqual education in secondary schools. The primary reason for that, is that it denies the pupils some chances for upward mobility. And any politician that does that is dead meat as far as I am concerned. Ditto for those that deny pupils an exit strategy from failing inner city schools. On that issue, I will brook no compromise.

At least we see eye to eye on a national glue: language.
