Controversy caused by Kansas City incident reflects national debate.
So, almost all public high schools require students to fulfill a foreign language requirement - and most of those classes are conducted in the language - yet they wish to make it wrong to speak anything other than English in the school?
Does that mean that students can't prepare for their French or Spanish exams during study hall for fear of being labeled anti-American?
That seems similar to the guy who said, "I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous!"
I envy the kids who grow up bilingual & better able to communicate.
My neice was enrolled in a Spanish speaking daycare when she was two or three, & picked the language right up. It will serve her well as she grows up & interacts with the growing hispanic community around us.
